COMPETITIVE GRADUATE SCHOOL FELLOWSHIPS
The Graduate School funds several competitive fellowships for incoming and continuing students. For incoming
students selection is based on departmental nomination during the application process. Continuing students should
follow the application procedures listed on the Duke University Graduate School Financial Support Web site.
Students holding a competitive graduate school fellowship are not permitted to hold other fellowships or Duke
employment concurrent with the graduate school award without prior approval from the dean of the graduate school.
Exceptions to this are the Summer Research and Dean’s Graduate Summer Fellowships, which can be held with any
other University or external award provided the student continues to make adequate progress toward degree
completion. Typically, fellowships for both incoming and continuing students will provide a full tuition and fee
scholarship, health insurance, and a 9 or 12 month stipend depending on the student’s program of study. Some awards
also provide stipend supplements to the standard departmental stipend, research and/or travel expense reimbursement.
