Many of the engineering students who graduated from the University of Rhode Island in recent years have decided to start their careers in Rhode Island, partly due to the Wavemaker Fellowship.
The Wavemaker Fellowship provides a financial incentive for graduates pursuing a career or starting a business in Rhode Island.
The program, administered by the Rhode Island Commerce Corporation, offers qualifying individuals a refundable Tax Credit Certificate worth the value of their annual student loan burden for up to four years.
“I found out about the Wavemaker Fellowship from some of my peers at URI,” said Savannah Mullarney, who earned her bachelor’s degree from URI in chemical engineering. “It’s one of the reasons I moved back to the state after graduation.”
Below is a partial list of recent URI engineering graduates who received Wavemaker Fellowships.
