DID ONE OF YOUR ADVISEES APPLY FOR A NATIONALLY-COMPETITIVE SCHOLARSHIP OR FELLOWSHIP?
IF SO, YOU MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR AN AWARD THROUGH UCONN’S
NATIONAL FELLOWSHIPS INCENTIVE PROGRAM (NFIP).
The Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships (ONSF), is pleased to announce the continuation of UConn's ambitious incentive program to build a stronger student and faculty culture around applying for prestigious, nationally competitive scholarships and fellowships.
Under this program, all UConn faculty on all campuses (including UCHC) are eligible for up to $2,000 in rewards for mentoring students through the process of developing proposals and submitting applications for eligible awards. In the program's first three years, more than $300,000 in professional development funds have been awarded.
This year, ONSF is again extending the incentive program to benefit UConn graduate students directly. Full-time, degree-seeking graduate students who apply for NFIP-eligible external fellowships will receive up to $250 for submitting their applications and completing the NFIP application.
Graduate students and faculty members whose students (grad or undergrad) submitted proposals for eligible fellowships between July 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019 may apply for the fall cycle of funding. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, but when funds are depleted, the program will be suspended.
Complete program guidelines and the call for applications for the 2019-20 round of funding are available at http://onsf.uconn.edu/nfip. The online application itself is available via a link at the bottom of that page.
Please direct any questions about the program, eligibility, etc., to Vin Moscardelli, Director of ONSF. He may be reached at vin.moscardelli@uconn.edu or 860-486-0087.
