Eligibility: To be eligible, students must have completed ALL of the core courses required by the Integrated Program in Biomedical Sciences. In addition, students must have passed their written comprehensive qualifying exam (qualifying part I). Students must also provide a letter of support from their mentor. Students who wish to be eligible must submit a copy of their UT graduate transcripts to the head of the Physiology Graduate Committee. Students should also disclose any external funding support they are receiving. All materials must be submitted electronically.

Selection: The Physiology Graduate Committee will select the winning candidate based on the combined GPA of their Integrated Program in Biomedical Sciences core courses. In instances of identical GPA scores, the committee will take into account the other application materials and may solicit opinions from other faculty members of the Department of Physiology.

 Award: The Quigley Fellow will receive a plaque at the annual Departmental meeting in the fall, along with a check for $1,000. The fellowship will also pay $9000 towards 1 year of their stipend (departmental/ mentor contribution). In the case of a tie, each student will receive $1000 checks, but the stipend award will be split among the winners.

Application Deadline: Completed applications are due by June 15, unless otherwise noted.
