Ezra Gillis Graduate Tuition Scholarship

Beginning with fall 2009, newly admitted out-of-state master's and doctoral students may be eligible for the Ezra Gillis Graduate Tuition Scholarship. Awardees receive $2500 per semester (fall and spring only) up to a maximum of four semesters, if nominated by their Director of Graduate Studies. Gillis Scholarship recipients must be full-time students without other funding; thus, programs may utilize it for students who will not have assistantships or fellowships in their first or second year of study.

Gillis Scholarships are potentially renewable up to four terms. If the student maintains a 3.5 grade point average after the first year of study, the DGS can nominate the student for an additional year of support. Thus, this is a potentially renewable scholarship with a maximum award of $10,000, for both master's and doctoral students.

For DGSs: The allocation of Gillis scholarships for each program is located on-line on the ForDGS page; changes to allocations should be directed to the director by email. The DGS on-line nomination process for recruited applicants occurs each spring; the selection window closes in early May. Each program will determine which potential students should be awarded the Gillis Scholarship. The program will communicate the scholarship offer to the student. Programs should offer and secure the student commitment by April 15. Gillis Scholarships are not transferable.

Depending on budget availability, Gillis awards are potentially renewable for the following year.
