Fellowships Process and Updates
The Graduate School’s Timely Topics Series
This session will provide updates and discussion on several parts of the fellowship nomination, review, and award process for The Graduate School’s internal fellowships (Harriott, Crandall, and Jorgenson):
- Fellowship Committee representation by a department faculty member is now required. This member may be asked to review fellowships and take part in the final decision meeting.
- Division of Fellowship Application process into separated master's and doctoral processes, each with an independent series of dates.
- Division of the Fellowship Nomination process into two stages with different deadlines for the applicant (to indicate consideration) and the department (to nominate up to four candidates).
- Fellowship Application process now happens after submission of application to The Graduate School rather than simultaneously.
- Updates to when an application will be available for the Fellowship Nomination and Fellowship Awards.
- Fellowship Award process automation for releasing award letters and facilitating acceptance or declining the award offer.
