Program Pays Students to Apply for Fellowships

Friday, September 7, 2018

Doctoral students can get $500 for applying for qualified fellowships this year.

The payment is part of the Graduate School’s Fellowship Application Incentive Program (FAIP) to encourage more students to apply for fellowships in the 2018-19 academic year.  Through FAIP, an incentive program launched last year, doctoral students can get $500 each for applying for up to two qualified fellowships.  An additional $1,500 incentive payment is available for the first successful fellowship application.

To apply, doctoral students complete the FAIP application prior to applying for fellowships. Application deadline is Feb. 1. An application form and more details are located on the Graduate School’s Funding webpage.

Workshops are available to help locate fellowship opportunities.  The Graduate School’s Center for Graduate Life will host the workshop, “Money for your Graduate Education: How to Find Fellowships” on Sept. 17 and again on Sept. 28.  Visit the Center for Graduate Life’s event calendar for more details.
