Launched in 2013 in collaboration with Sir Dorabji Tata Trust (SDTT), this flagship Program of TRAERF provides Faculty Fellowships to talented young teachers (in the age group 30-40) of metallurgy and materials engineering. Following a highly rigorous selection procedure, teachers selected to receive the Fellowship are paid a stipend of US$ 3000/- pm (payable by Sir Dorabji Tata Trust) to meet living expenses during the tenure of the Fellowship in addition to international travel (payable by TRAERF). Recipients of this coveted Fellowship include 5 young faculty members from different NITs and two from Universities.
