Scholarships and Fellowships Awards
The Graduate School is committed to providing doctoral students with the appropriate resources that will support academic success. Full-time Ph.D. candidates are awarded, through University or external funding sources, a 100% tuition scholarship, a competitive fellowship, and an allowance to cover a portion of health care costs. The tuition scholarship and fellowship may be renewed on an annual basis for up to four years based on superior academic performance and satisfactory progress to the degree.
Awards may also be made for travel to examine archives. Finally, dissertation-writing grants and University Prize Instructorships are awarded on a competitive basis to students who have completed their doctoral research.
We believe our Program to be unique. It is small and cohesive; its highly focused seminars and colloquia move students quickly past the qualifying exams, within two years, so that they may embark upon dissertations as soon as their third year; and it bring students the diverse resources and approaches without which there could be no comparative history.
