Fellowships and awards
Doctoral students are encouraged to apply for fellowships through the National Institutes of Health National Research Service Award program and through the National Science Foundation's Graduate Research Fellowship Program. Other funding opportunities exist within specific areas of study and doctoral students should explore these possibilities with the school graduate office.
In addition to government and external organizational fellowships, the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences currently offers a Graduate Research Award to recognize excellene in research, and an Outstanding Graduate Teaching Assistant Award, which recognizes excellence in teaching and leadership as a teaching assistant.
Three other fellowship awards are also available to the school's doctoral students through endowed fellowships: Dennis Young Graduate and Early Scholar Statistics Award, Floyd L. Downs Teaching of Mathematics Fellowship Award and Robert G. Maule Excellence in Teaching Mathematics Award.
Made possible by the generous donations of community members, alumni and others, these awards are intended to recognize the accomplishments of students who are demonstrating overall excellence in the mathematics doctoral program.
Judging criteria and application details can be found on the graduate awards webpage. The deadline for all application materials, including a letter of recommendation from a faculty member, is typically mid-February.
