Students are nominated for this award by the department's Graduate Admissions Committee. Up to two applicants may be nominated. Final applicants will be chosen by a selection committee composed of a representative from each humanities and arts department in the College of Arts and Sciences. The deadline for applications is February 16, 2001. These grants are sponsored by the Graduate School to support research, scholarship and creative work of graduate students in all departments.
All funding is provided by alumni donations.
A Master's thesis or a doctoral dissertation may also be funded. Any full-time graduate student in good standing who is deemed to be making adequate progress toward a degree on the Boulder campus may apply for an award. A student may receive only one award per academic year. The competition is held once in the fall and once in the spring. The fellowship is equal to the stipend for a Graduate Part Time Instructor and a tuition waiver for seven hours.
