The following fellowships are part of the Whiting School’s efforts to recruit a diverse student population — a goal that is of vital importance to our educational mission and to enhancing the educational experience for all students. The fellowships provide financial awards as noted to assist in the recruitment of graduate students from diverse backgrounds, including under-represented minority students, women, and students from economically or socially disadvantaged circumstances.
Dean's Fellowship
This award is reserved for incoming doctoral students who would enhance the diversity of the Whiting School in some way (e.g., candidates from diverse backgrounds including under-represented minority students, women, and students from economically or socially disadvantaged circumstances); preference will be given to candidates who are U.S. citizens or U.S. permanent residents. The award consists of a full-tuition waiver, health insurance benefits, and a $20,000/year research or teaching assistantship for up to five years. Candidates will be identified by the department to which they apply; applicants need not nominate themselves.
