President's Fellowship
In accordance with our core values, we offer the President’s Fellowship, aimed at recruiting outstanding doctoral students from differing backgrounds or with unique personal and scholarly experience.
President’s Fellowships are multi-year enhancement awards to be added to full assistantship and fellowship support offers normally made by graduate programs. The President’s Fellowship enhancement award may total up to $40,000 per student over the duration of the award. Graduate programs must commit to sharing the cost of the President’s Fellowship, as described in the guidelines.
Eligibility: Candidates must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents entering Ph.D. programs in Fall 2025. The fellowship will support students with exceptional qualifications and clear promise for outstanding performance in doctoral study.
Fellowship is currently paused. Check back for possible updates.
