Tuition & Fees. Unused fee awards will not generate a refund to you.
Please note that fellowships do not disburse until you enroll in classes. Continued eligibility for this fellowship depends on
your maintaining satisfactory academic progress and maintaining a minimum GPA. For a complete list of general fellowship

The purpose of the Provost’s Fellowships in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences is to enable you to devote
full-time to the pursuit of your graduate degree. Therefore, please note: You are not permitted to hold
employment during the tenure of this fellowship. Under certain circumstances, however, exceptions may be
considered. Should you wish an exception be made, you must make a request in writing and submit a letter of
support from your adviser or your graduate program chair.
