Up to two awards are given to the most talented DMA applicants in a performance area of music, nominated by the School of Music. Awards are for three years. Each department makes nominations to the Graduate College, which awards these fellowships on a competitive basis. For more information, contact your department. These fellowships are awarded by departments for the academic year from funds provided by the Graduate College.
Fellowships vary in amount, but often qualify the recipient for resident tuition rates.
These awards provide tuition for intensive summer study of a foreign language needed to satisfy departmental requirements. Applications are available in departments. This award provides graduate students with tuition money for summer courses held at the Lake MacBride Biological Research Station. The Graduate College selects approximately fifteen award winners from among applicants nominated by each department in the humanities. Applicants must be able to finish their dissertation by the end of the fellowship year.
