Distinguished Graduate Fellowships
The Distinguished Graduate Fellowships are created by a collaborative funding effort. Funding from a donor, the Graduate School, and the academic college support these awards. This prestigious fellowship program is available to incoming students and provides payment of tuition and a base stipend of $16,100 for 2008-09. Some colleges increase the stipend with their own funding.
Selection of the Distinguished Graduate Fellows is made at the college level. Interested prospective students should contact their departments for details on the college's deadline, requirements, and procedures.
