The Honors Fellowships are used primarily to recruit outstanding students for graduate programs and provide a stipend of $14,000 per year plus payment of up to 9 graduate credit hours of tuition for the fall and spring semesters. Awards to students will be during their first and fourth or fifth year of study. For those students who are only seeking a master's degree, the award will only be for their first year of study. Departments are expected to offer a half-time teaching or research assistantship for the two or three intervening years for the doctoral student and one year for a master's student, provided the student maintains good academic standing and satisfactory employment performance. Fellows are encouraged not to accept a teaching assistantship or research assistantship while receiving fellowship support; however departments may appeal this to Graduate Studies on behalf of the student on a case-by-case basis.
The following must be submitted with the nomination:
Departments may nominate no more than two individuals for the Chancellor/Honors/First Year Doctoral Fellowship. The department is expected to rank nominees.
The deadline for the 2008 fellowship is Friday, February 1 at 5:00 p.m. at 222 Strong Hall.
