About 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, 2022 through June 30, 2023) should be nominated. Convincing evidence that the nominee can complete all degree requirements by June 30, 2023 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 is Wednesday, May 25, 2022.
Fellowship Descriptions and Nomination Guidelines
*The stipend provided will match the minimum annual support guaranteed by the Graduate Funding Reform. The student will receive an amended letter once the rates are finalized for the current year (the rate is driven by ASE contract negotiation).
**Students who have advanced to candidacy are usually within the UC non-resident supplemental tuition (NRST) waiver period. If a student has exceeded their waiver period, and are not eligible for extended coverage due to COVID-19, the student will be responsible for paying the NRST. The degree-granting department can elect to cover NRST on the student’s behalf but is not obligated to do so.
Deadline
