[Benedict McWhirter]

Greetings faculty and students  - see announcement below.  Our own Yolanda Valenzuela received the prestigious Dissertation Research Fellowship last year.  As CPSY students you are among the top doctoral students at the University and are all well positioned to be eligible for this award as well.


There will be a selection process within the COE in order to nominate a name/names from the COE for this/these awards. Please think about this and discuss with your advisor.


For CPSY faculty, lets discuss our students who are eligible to benefit from this award for next year.


Thanks all--

Peace

Benedict

Subject: grad-dir: Announcing Call for UO Graduate School 2018-19 Dissertation Research Fellowships

The UO Graduate School is happy to announce that it will award up to 16 Dissertation Fellowships for 2018-19. We are able to offer this many fellowships thanks to generous partnerships with other UO colleges and schools. In addition to the UO Doctoral Research Fellowship, the highest dissertation award given, there will be 8 additional Dissertation Research Fellowships in the College of Arts and Sciences, 2 in the Lundquist College of Business, 2 in the School of Journalism and Communication, 1 in the College of Education, and 1 in the School of Music and Dance. We will also be awarding an Eric Englund Fellowship, given to a student whose dissertation research is focused on research in American literature, history, philosophy or other related fields.

These dissertation fellowships are designed to support outstanding doctoral students and promote excellence in research at the University of Oregon. Doctoral students in all academic disciplines at the University are eligible to apply for these fellowships, but must first be nominated by their school/college or department.

The Dissertation Research Fellowships provide financial support for exceptional doctoral candidates to complete their dissertations. Award amounts vary depending on the fellowship awarded and the recipient’s department but include stipends between $14,500 and $22,600 for 3 terms or between $9,700 and $15,300 for two terms, a university tuition waiver during award terms, mandatory fees (less $61 per term), and health insurance (95% of the premium).

By applying for the UO Dissertation Research Fellowship, candidates are first considered for the UO Doctoral Research Fellowship. Those not selected for the UO Doctoral Research Fellowship will become eligible for the Englund or appropriate school/college/department level Dissertation Research Fellowships. The same application/nomination makes nominees eligible for each of these awards.

Please note that students must be advanced to candidacy by the end of Spring 2018 in order to receive an award.

Each college/school (or each department in the case of CAS) will need to decide on its own internal process and timeline for selecting nominees; the deadline for nominations to be received in the Graduate School is February 16, 2018. Complete information about applying can be found at the page below (but please note that the link to the application on this page is not yet live; that will happen in early December and you will be alerted):
