The Graduate School has awarded summer fellowships to 83 Syracuse University doctoral students from 34 academic departments. Fellowships were awarded to 43 early-stage doctoral students who have not yet completed course work, qualifying exams or other milestones prior to All But Dissertation (ABD) status. These recipients were chosen from among 108 applicants.
Additionally, dissertation fellowships were awarded to 40 doctoral students to facilitate progress towards the completion of their dissertation.
Candidates were selected by a panel of graduate faculty and staff who assessed each candidate’s academic standing and ability to make progress toward a significant program milestone such as coursework completion, qualifying exams or dissertation completion, depending on the candidate’s stage in their program.
The summer fellowships for students who have not yet reached ABD status were supported through COVID relief funding support.
“We are pleased to support both graduate students who are close to completion and those whose early progress toward their doctoral degree milestones was slowed due to the pandemic. Thanks to the University’s allocation of COVID relief funds, we were able to award additional academic year fellowships and project-based funding for faculty to support graduate students,” says Peter Vanable, dean of the Graduate School.
“I congratulate all of our summer fellowship recipients and hope that this funding enables them to reach their next milestone.”
