Students should note that fellowships awarded are for one year only, and they should plan to seek subsequent support elsewhere.
Awards provide a stipend plus payment to graduate schools of full tuition and fees.
Winners of Mellon Fellowships may study at any graduate school in the U.S. or Canada. Applications are available by request from the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation. Requests for applications must be received by early December. The selection criteria for Mellon Fellowships emphasize both intellectual distinction and breadth of interest. Along with their completed application, candidates must submit a college transcript and results of the GRE General Test, which must be taken no later than December.
