University, Dean's, and Merit Program

The Graduate School's Dean's Fellowships are offered by graduate programs in order to create greater flexibility in creating overall support packages for students. Graduate School Dean's Fellowships may be used as recruitment tools for prospective students or as awards for currently enrolled students. Each year, the Graduate School allocates a certain number of Dean’s Fellowships to colleges who then allocate the fellowships to programs.  Programs are then responsible for recruiting and retaining outstanding students. 

Current Graduate School guidelines for fellowship tuition awards remain in effect.

Graduate School applicants and current students should contact their program for more information on the current Dean's Fellowship Program.
