LSA Tuition-only Fellowship (Waivers)
Eligibility: Only students who have advanced to candidacy and have defended their prospectus are eligible to apply. In exceptional cases, the Graduate Committee, in consultation with the student's dissertation committee (if it has been established; if not, the A and B advisors), can waive the prospectus requirement.
Application: Eligible candidates may apply by submitting a proposal to the Graduate Committee. The proposal should include:
- a detailed description of the proposed off-campus research, its duration, and its relevance to the PhD thesis;
- written endorsement from both A and B advisors.
Students should submit the proposal to the Graduate Committee by April 1 for a Fall-term tuition fellowship and November 15 for a Winter-term fellowship.
