- Academic Excellence
- Research Potential and Professional Accomplishments
- Strength of Research Proposal
- Presentation of Application
*For information about specific weighting of the award criteria established at the Faculty level, please see the award rubric located on the last page of each Faculty award application form.
As highlighted on the online application form, applicants who receive at least least $40,000 ($50k if paying international tuition) in either external or internal funding as of September 1st of the upcoming academic year will be deemed ineligible if selected as a fellowship recipient. In addition, failure to disclose pending funding applications or anticipated funding (as requested in the application form) will result in the student’s immediate disqualificationfrom the competition.
General Eligibility: you must be a full-time graduate student during the upcoming academic year (Fall 2023). It is important that you are in good standing and that your research fits the award description.
