Graduate College Fellowship and Award Deadlines
Internal (Graduate College) as well as prestigious external fellowships require a nomination in order for a student to apply. For internal competitions, the Graduate College sets its deadline -- academic programs generally set an earlier deadline in order to complete their role in the formal nomination process. For external funding, especially for those competitions for which the Fellowships and Awards coordinator is the formal or informal advisor, the Graduate College establishes a campus deadline in advance of the funding source's deadline.
These dates are subject to change.
