The Graduate School is pleased to announce a new fellowship designed to assist doctoral students in making rapid progress with their doctoral dissertations and to support students who would like to explore and pursue interdisciplinary research.
The first award of fellowships will be for next spring, 2008, and will be an initial experiment to explore how such a fellowship might best work in support of doctoral students. Therefore, this first award of fellowships will be smaller and more limited in scope as the Graduate School and the faculty members guiding this effort learn more about how we might best implement this program. The Graduate School will competitively award a limited number of semester-long doctoral, non-service fellowships that include a stipend of $7,200, tuition, and health insurance beginning in spring semester, 2008. If you have questions or comments about this fellowship, please contact Sandra Hoeflich, 962-6323, sandra@unc.edu.
