FY15 Awards Transferred in May 2014 (JE 610104). Transfer in July, 2015
$44,000. The CLA Graduate Fellowship is a one-year award that includes an academic-year stipend of
$25,000, academic-year tuition at regular graduate student rates for up to 14 graduate credits each
semester, and subsidized health insurance through the graduate assistant plan for the academic year
and for summer 2015. If the student does not enter the graduate program until Spring 2015, the
fellowship award would be for one semester only. Awards may not be deferred beyond the 2014-2015
academic year.
In addition, a student who is awarded a 2014-15 CLA Graduate Fellowship will receive a $5,000
fellowship award during each of the following four years (two years for MFA students). The student can
also elect to bundle these funds into a larger fellowship during a given year as long as the total
allocation does not exceed $20,000 ($10,000 for MFA students).
GRPP Awards:
1000-DEPTID-20497–YR00002015
Transfer in May
GRPP awards are in the form of a $4,000.00 summer fellowship that will be paid via the payroll system
over five pay periods during the summer. CLA provides $3,500.00 of the funding for each fellowship with
a $500.00 cost share with the department. (FY14 JE: 609813)
DOVE Summer Fellowship
1000-DEPTID-20471- YR00002015
Transfer in May
These funds for DOVE fellows are designed to encourage and support early research projects or work
directly related to dissertation research. The summer fellowship is a $4,000 award that will be paid via
the payroll system over five pay periods during the summer. (FY14 JE: 609780)
In addition DOVE Summer Fellows are eligible to apply for up to $500 in research support provided by
CLA, including travel, for summer projects. This support would include expenses such as travel related to
the research project, research supplies, payment for research participants, etc. All expenses, including
travel, must be incurred during the summer.
(The DOVE First year fellowships are funded by the Office of Equity and Diversity, we offer only
additional summer funding)
Dove Top Off
1000-DEPTID-20471- YR00002015
In an effort to recruit DOVE Nominees, CLA provides funds for students who were nominated but did
NOT receive the fellowship by increasing their funding by $4,000 each. The expectation is that the
department package will be equivalent to a .5 FTE position (about $14,724) plus tuition and fringe and
that the CLA Top-off fellowship will be in addition to this standard package. (FY14 JE’s: 551992 and
