PURPOSE
Graduate College Completion Fellowships are intended to reward academic excellence and to aid completion of the doctoral or MFA degree. Nominations should be made on the basis of demonstrated ability to complete research/projects of high quality and the assurance that a semester of full-time effort will allow the student to complete his/her dissertation/project.
The Graduate College will award approximately 16 fellowships to graduate students in academic departments in the arts, humanities, social sciences, and education who will be completing PhD and MFA degrees in Spring 2009.
