Prestigious External Fellowships
Prestigious External Fellowships
These fellowships are highly competitive prestigious awards made to students by federal agencies and foundations, to assist students in the pursuit of their studies or research. Fellowships vary, but most provide funds for stipends and some or all cost of education expenses. As part of the collective bargaining agreement with GEO, the university grants qualified fellowship recipients the same benefits, waivers, and many of the rights of GEO membership.
Examples of prestigious fellowships include:
NSF Graduate Research Fellowship
NASA Graduate Research Fellowships
National Defense Science & Engineering Graduate Fellowship Program (NDSEG)
National Academy of Education/Spencer Foundation Dissertation Fellowship
Mellon/ACLS Dissertation Innovation Fellowship
Soros Foundation Fellowship for New Americans
Graduate students who receive an external fellowship from a domestic funder (US foundation or federal agency) or from an international agency or government should notify the Graduate School immediately and provide a copy of their award letter using the Prestigious Fellow Application Form. You should also notify your faculty advisor and graduate program administrator/coordinator.
