Program Description
The program provides an award of $500 for the first proposal and $250 for each additional proposal submitted to a select list of eligible fellowship programs. In general, two types of external fellowships are eligible; external multi-year fellowships, and external dissertation fellowships. We hope that the proposals will be funded, but awarding of the Incentive Grant does not depend on the success of the proposal. Each of the targeted external fellowship programs provides premier multi-year funding for graduate study or dissertation year support.
To qualify for a Graduate School Fellowship Incentive Grant:
Students must be currently enrolled in a relevant program when applying for these external fellowships and must plan to continue graduate study at Purdue University in the subsequent year(s). Students who submit the following items by 5 PM ON FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 2005, are eligible:
1. A completed copy of the fellowship application, including supporting documents, if any;
2. A completed Incentive Grant application form; and
3. Confirmation from the sponsoring agency that the application was received
External Eligibility Requirements and Deadlines
The exact requirements and deadlines for the external competitions vary, and these details are available from the individual fellowship program offices. There are two types of fellowships for graduate students to consider: (1) external, multi-year fellowships and (2) external dissertation fellowships.
To identify possible funding opportunities, search the Graduate School Funding Database. Eligible fellowships may include, but are not limited to, those provided by the following organizations:
Evaluations
Criteria for evaluation include the applicant's academic record and the merit of the proposal, in relation to the fellowship program guidelines.
