Clare Boothe Luce Doctoral Fellowships in Biology Clare Boothe Luce Fellowships are academic honors offered each year to a limited number of superior women doctoral applicants in Biology. A legacy of the estate of Clare Boothe Luce, the Luce Fellowships were established at a few selected institutions in order to encourage women to study and subsequently pursue academic careers in science, mathematics and engineering. These fellowships provide a stipend, a dependency allowance, and tuition waivers for up to 30 credits per academic year.
Appointments are for an initial two-year period, with possibility of renewal for a third year.
Recipients of Clare Boothe Luce Fellowships have no additional duties beyond their graduate studies and may not accept employment either inside or outside of the University while they hold fellowships. Eligibility for these awards is limited to women who are US citizens. Further information is available from the Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
