Graduate School Recruitment Fellowships

These fellowships are prestigious awards funded by the Graduate School to attract top quality graduate students to The University of Texas (UT). Graduate advisers have the vital role of identifying and nominating eligible applicants.

Note: Award decisions for these fellowships have been decentralized. It is important that you check with the Dean's Office of your unit for nomination procedures, stipend levels, guidelines and deadlines regarding these fellowships. The only recruitment award decisions being handled out of the Graduate School this year will be those for the Harrington, Powers, McNair, South Texas and West Texas Graduate Fellowships.

Eligibility

Students not currently or previously enrolled in the Graduate School at UT. Candidates must rank within the top 10% of all students in their discipline. Most disciplines eligible.

Stipend

Stipend can vary depending on program and college.

Nomination / Reporting Process

Check with the Dean's office of your unit about nomination procedures. However, all awards for Graduate School Recruitment (pre-emptive) Fellowships will need to be entered into the online Graduate School Awards System that can be accessed from EASI. Note: If you cannot find the link in EASI, you can trying linking directly to the “GCD Grad School Fellowships” page in EASI. If you are not allowed access there, you are not authorized. Contact Marla Boye in GIAC for graduate coordinator authorization, or Gwen Barton in the Graduate School for graduate adviser or GSC chair authorization.

A new, convenient reporting application for entering award decisions will be available later this spring. The nomination process is described in a tutorial for the new online awards system.
