The University of Mississippi offers a competitive graduate stipend.
All students admitted to the
English Ph.D. program receive a five-year funding package, and we also offer a fully-funded M.A. to competitive applicants.
Thanks to a generous donation by the Estate of Daphne Davis
Kendis, the English Department awards the
Harold J. Kendis Fellowship
to the top-ranked applicant pursuing Medieval Studies.
The Kendis Fellowship provides this student with an additional
$4,250 per year for the five years of the English Ph.D. program.
