Fellowship Overview
Fellowship Overview
The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences is pleased to offer two Fellowship opportunities for incoming doctoral students. The Dean's Office, along with the continuing support of the Provost, invites departments to nominate eligible, incoming doctoral candidates.
Fellowship Programs are intended to aid in the recruitment of the most highly sought-after doctoral students applying to Tufts University. This aids in preventing financial considerations from standing in the way of choosing to pursue their degrees at Tufts.

The official award letters will be sent by the Graduate Admissions Office to the candidate via Slate. The DGS will also be notified. If a candidate turns down our offer of admission and therefore the awarded Fellowship, we will look to offer the Fellowship to another qualified candidate. This alternate candidate will come from the pool of all remaining nominations across all departments.
Departments are encouraged to call the candidates selected for an award and notify them of their nomination.
