The Fellowship includes four month summer scholarship component for which no duties are required. The College of Graduate Studies and Research and the Department of Psychology expect all students to apply for major external scholarships as described below. If the value of the major external award is below that of a regular GTF award, the CGSR will supplement the value of the external award to ensure that recipients receive at least the level of support that they would have received with internal funding. While there is keen competition for these external awards, the awards carry considerable prestige and are usually renewable. Students receiving external awards should consult with the CGSR to determine whether they are eligible for a supplement.
Students are responsible for tracking down other sources of funding pertinent to their situation.
Information about these sources can be obtained by contacting Graduate Studies. Doctoral fellowships are offered to students who have completed a Master's degree. Applications are due in October and are reviewed and ranked by the Department before forwarding to Graduate Studies. Fellowships are renewable for up to three years. The Clinical or Applied Social Program Coordinator may be contacted for information.
