Part-Time Master's Graduate Fellowship

PART-TIME MASTER'S GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP

The Academic Fund of the University of Memphis provides funds to attract high caliber master's students who are only able to attend this university part-time and are thus unable to access many traditional forms of support. Awardees will receive $1,500 ($750 per semester; this does not include a tuition scholarship) and be designated "Master's Fellow in (Department)". Up to ten awards are available each academic year.

Eligibility:

Students must be fully admitted to a graduate program by April 28, 2008, for Fall 2008 competition.
Students must not be previously enrolled in that program.

Nomination Process:

Departments will recommend candidates to the Dean of their college or school. Determined by a competitive process at the college or school, each Dean will recommend students in ranked order to the Vice Provost for Graduate Programs.
The recommendation consists of a completed Graduate School Competitive Awards Nomination Form with required supporting documentation and any other relevent materials required by the college or school.

Terms of the Award:

Recipients must maintain a GPA of 3.25 in order to receive the second term funding. This award is limited to one year.
Recipients must not hold a graduate assistantship or be employed by The University of Memphis in any way.
Recipients must enroll for a MINIMUM OF THREE or a MAXIMUM OF EIGHT credit hours.
