University Fellowship awards are based on a combination of need and merit and are awarded to students upon the nomination of their academic program. University Fellowships vary in amount depending on the availability of funds. The student is required to provide service, usually research in her/his academic program, in the amount of 4.5 hours per month per $1,000 of University Fellowship for the nine-month academic year. If the student is not receiving tuition-related financial aid sufficient to cover the full cost of tuition, the amount necessary to pay full tuition will be deducted from the University Fellowship. Academic Matters Home Admissions Requirements Financial Assistance Tuition and Fees Registration/ Grading Degree Requirements Student Appeals Overview of Financial Assistance at The Graduate Center -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Financial Assistance at The Graduate Center consists of two major types of aid: institutional aid, for which The Graduate Center itself is the funding source, and federal and state aid. With the exception of dissertation year awards and the Student Employment Program, most institutional aid is awarded to students based on the nomination of the doctoral program in which the student is enrolled. Institutional funding is most often in the form of research and teaching assistantships, university fellowships, and tuition stipends. Federal aid for graduate students includes Federal Work-Study, Federal Direct Loans, and Federal Perkins Loans. New York State provides the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) for eligible graduate students who are New York State residents. In all cases, federal and state aid is based solely on financial need. Institutional aid is based on a combination of need and merit. Special Awards The Graduate Center offers a number of special awards to students with exceptional academic promise or specialized skills. These include the Robert E. Gilleece Fellowship, the Minority Access/Graduate Networking (MAGNET) Fellowships, and a number of fellowships set up by private philanthropists known as Named Fellowships. Special committees comprised of faculty, students, and administrators make most of these awards on behalf of The Graduate Center as a whole. Some of these require special application procedures, which are described under the heading of each award.
