The awarding of graduate student fellowships has been decentralized. The Office of Graduate Studies (OGS) will continue to administer some endowed and diversity fellowships. Committees inside the College of Liberal Arts will decide on the recipients of diversity recruitment fellowships and editorial assistantships through a competitive process. The remainder of fellowships for the College of Liberal Arts will be distributed by CoLA departments, through a process that each department will design internally. The following tables contain more specific information about these three broad categories of fellowships.
Department chairs received an email with their allocations in late December and more information in an Academic Affairs meeting on February 6. Please contact Lauren Apter Bairnsfather with any questions.
