Fellowships – UW Graduate School

What Are Fellowships? Fellowships are competitive awards that generally do not require work in exchange for the funds. They are intended to support academic study and research. Fellowships may be offered by individual departments, the University itself, federal agencies, or private organizations. Key Questions to Ask About a Fellowship • Length of the award (e.g., one year, two years) • Funding level (total stipend or monthly amount) • Whether the award includes insurance or a tuition waiver • How the funding is disbursed (directly to the student or through the University) • Whether the student may accept additional sources of funding concurrently The UW Graduate School encourages students to discuss any fellowship they receive with their department and, if applicable, the Office of Student Financial Aid. Finding Fellowships at UW The Graduate School provides several resources to help students locate fellowship opportunities: 1. Applying for Fellowships – a general guide to the application process. 2. List of Grad School Fellowships – a searchable directory of available fellowships. 3. Grad School Directory – a filterable directory that connects students with the appropriate office or individual for assistance. Contacting Offices If you have questions or need help navigating fellowship options, you can schedule an appointment with the relevant office or person through the Grad School Directory. Limitations and Unknowns • The source text does not provide specific eligibility criteria, funding amounts, or application deadlines for individual fellowships. • Details such as insurance coverage, tuition waivers, and concurrent funding policies vary by fellowship and are not listed on the page. • The information is presented as a general overview; students should verify all details directly with the fellowship sponsor or the UW Graduate School. Source Limitations The information above is derived solely from the UW Graduate School’s publicly available webpage. Because the page does not include granular data on each fellowship, readers should consult the specific fellowship announcements or contact the Graduate School for up-to-date and accurate information.
