The Crown Fellowships
The Crown Fellowships began in 1968 with a gift from the Crown family, who continue to make annual contributions to operating expenses and the endowment fund. Their generosity has made our unique program possible.
On admission to the program, every doctoral student receives a Rose and Irving Crown Fellowship. In each entering class all Crown Fellowships are of the same amount. They include a scholarship that meets the entire cost of Brandeis tuition, plus a cash stipend, and a research grant. The dollar amount changes from year to year. In the year 2007, the Crown Fellowship includes a full tuition scholarship of $34,434, plus a cash stipend of $18,250. Crown Fellowships are normally renewable through five years, for students who maintain an A- average.
Candidates for the degree of Master of Arts are not eligible for university fellowships, although a limited amount of financial assistance for tuition remission is available.
