BUMP students work in an administrative or scientific environment and receive payment for work performed. Applications for the appointments listed below, with the exception of the noted, must be received no later than January 15th for the Fall semester. Currently enrolled degree candidates must submit separate GRS Financial Aid Application each year by February 1. Forms are available in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Office. These fellowships provide, for exceptionally well-qualified entering PhD students, up to four years of support.
Subsequent years involve a teaching fellowship or research assistantship.
Students may not apply directly for these awards. Nominations are proposed by the Graduate School departments, divisions, and programs, and are reviewed by the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences PUGF Committee, which makes final recommendations for awards to the associate dean of the Graduate School. Nominations are proposed early in the admissions application processing cycle. Applicants who wish to be considered should submit their admission applications well before the January 15 deadline. TFs are available at the BU Marine Program.
