Graduate Fellowships
Fellowships are available through Temple’s Graduate School for students with exceptional academic records. They include
- Presidential Fellowships, which are reserved for only the most outstanding candidates;
- University Fellowships, which are intended to support students who demonstrate outstanding potential for success in their chosen fields; and
- Future Faculty Fellowships, which are meant to attract outstanding students who would diversify the professoriate. Eligible candidates are newly admitted graduate students from underrepresented groups in an applicant’s discipline who show exceptional leadership or have overcome significant obstacles in pursuing academic careers. For more information, visit the Future Faculty Fellow Program webpage.
These fellowships provide a stipend plus tuition for two years. Graduate assistantships from the College of Public Health cover tuition for the remaining years of study.
Fellowship Advising
Information on fellowship-related workshops for current graduate students can be found in the Deadlines and Events section of Temple’s Scholar Development and Fellowships Advising webpage. Resources for preparing applications are located under Application Resources.
If you are considering applying for a graduate fellowship, schedule an appointment to meet with the fellowships advisor. You do not need to have a draft prepared; sometimes talking through your ideas is a great starting point.
