Academic programs may request supplementation from the Graduate School for external fellowships its students receive that are not on the approved supplementation list. Note that these requests must come from the academic program in which the student is enrolled, not from individual students or advisors.
If a program is requesting supplementation for a fellowship that is not automatically supplemented, it should complete this External Fellowship Supplementation Application form. The request must include:
- Details of the funding provided by the external fellowship and what resources are being requested
- Details on the supplementation already committed by the academic program or school/college.
- Be submitted at least three weeks before the fellowship tenure begins.
Once the Fellowships Officer in the Graduate School receives the completed request form from the academic program, they will review it and either forward it for review by the Associate Dean and Dean of the Graduate School or return it to the requester for edits. They will consult with the relevant Divisional Associate Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education as appropriate. Decisions on fellowship supplementation requests should be made within two (2) weeks of submitting the necessary details to the Graduate School.
Please note that all Graduate School-supplemented fellowships will receive remission of out-of-state tuition. However, Graduate School supplementation is not required for a student to receive tuition remission -- departments may administer and supplement external fellowships directly.
