All students applying for admission to the chemistry department will be considered for these awards. No separate application is required for these awards. Typically, an entering student will receive a combined fellowship and assistantship, plus full tuition. The assistantship carries with it a teaching responsibility in undergraduate laboratories. After the first year, students receive support either from the Department of Chemistry or from individual faculty research funds.
Continued support is contingent upon satisfactory academic performance.
The most prestigious fellowships awarded by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences are the George W. Woodruff Fellowships and the Emory Minority Graduate Fellowships. The fellowships cover full tuition and direct educational costs for four years and provide stipends. A limited number are available each year to first-year students entering doctoral programs. Awards are renewed each year contingent upon satisfactory academic performance. In Fall 1992 the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences inaugurated a program to prepare graduate students to enter the professoriate as competent and confident teachers.
