The Graduate School will be awarding a number of Outstanding Scholars Program (OSP) Fellowships for the 2017-2018 academic year. The OSP Fellowship awards are made to students applying to doctoral programs who represent the very best of the year’s entering graduate student class.
The award consists of an annual service-free fellowship; equivalent to a half-time graduate assistantship during the academic year and $2,000 in summer support, guaranteed for three (3) years. The host program provides a half-time graduate assistantship as a match to the OSP Fellowship.
To nominate an applicant for an OSP Fellowship award, please complete the on-line cover sheet located on The Graduate School’s website under the Outstanding Scholars Program section and forward the completed form as a PDF attachment to martha.marroni@ucon.edu prior to January 27. If more than one student is nominated by a department/program, we ask the Director of Graduate Studies for that program to rank the nominees. This ranking should be emailed to Martha Marroni (martha.marroni@uconn.edu) by the deadline. Winners will be announced by February 10. Application materials must be marked with the OSP group in Hobsons ApplyYourself.
