Chancellor's Doctoral Fellowships are awarded to new doctoral graduate students based on departmental recommendations. Students are eligible for nomination when they have been accepted into a graduate program with a full assistantship. The student's application file must show evidence of a last degree GPA of 3.50 or greater, and excellent letters of recommendation. All graduate applicants, except previously or currently enrolled students who have been awarded assistantships, are eligible. Minority students entering either doctoral or masters programs are eligible for awards that are intended to supplement a teaching or research assistantship.
Departments make the determination for award nominations.
Graduate Nonresident Fellowships are awarded to first-time students based on department recommendations. The fellowship pays the difference between nonresident and resident tuition, allowing the recipient to pay tuition at resident rates. Recipients must be U.S. citizens or hold permanent resident status. Regents Tuition Fellowships are awarded by academic departments to new students admitted in the graduate program. There are no separate fellowship forms.
