Fellowships The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences has a number of merit fellowships supported by endowments, gifts, and other sources which it offers to exceptional students. In addition to these fellowships, some departments have merit fellowships with comparable stipends which are awarded by the department on the same basis as the Graduate School fellowships. You must be nominated by your department in order to be considered for a Graduate School fellowship. If you indicate on your application for admission that you seek financial aid you will automatically be considered by the department to which you are applying as a candidate for a fellowship. If you are a returning student, you should inform your department that you wish to be considered as a candidate for a fellowship.
