Two fellowships per year are provided in a university-wide competition. Preference is given to incoming students but continuing students are eligible. These provide a stipend plus full tuition and partial fee wavier. Recipients are minority graduate students who show potential for success in graduate study, but who, because of deficiencies in their undergraduate preparation, are not ready to serve as assistants or to compete successfully for awards based on academic achievement. These are also awarded in an all-University competition for which the Department may nominate a limited number.
Reference letters are particularly important.
