titleAbout the Dissertation Year Fellowships

There are three types of Dissertation Year Fellowships that are offered annually during the Spring Quarter.

  • UC President’s Dissertation Year Fellowship (PDYF)

  • Fletcher Jones Fellowship (FJF)

  • Dissertation Year Fellowship funded by the Marye Anne Fox Endowed Fellowship Fund (MAF)

Each fellowship is named and detailed below. All three fellowships are terminal support awards and only candidates projected to finish during the twelve-month award period (July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025) should be nominated. Convincing evidence that the nominee can complete all degree requirements by June 30, 2025 will be an important consideration in selecting Fellows. Fellowship recipients will be selected from one pool of nominations. Fellowships will be reviewed by an interdisciplinary group of faculty and staff.

Applicants should be nominated by their graduate programs; no self-nominations will be accepted. Graduate Programs may nominate a total of three candidates across all three dissertation year fellowships. This is a combined total of three nominations for the Dissertation Year Fellowship, the Fletcher Jones Fellowship, and the Marye Anne Fox Endowed Fellowship.

The deadline to submit nominations has been extended to Wednesday, May 15, 2024 at 11:59pm. nomination period for AY24-25 Dissertation Year Fellowships has closed. Nominations for AY25-26 will be accepted in Spring 2025.
