Academic Achievement Scholarships

Academic Achievement Scholarships for New Doctoral Students

In recognition of their outstanding academic accomplishments, the Toulouse School of Graduate Studies will award a competitive $1,000 Doctoral Academic Achievement Scholarship for the 2007-2008 academic year to each qualifying new student who begins his or her study in a doctoral program at the University of North Texas during the 2007-2008 academic year. To qualify for these awards, a student must be accepted unconditionally or conditionally by a UNT doctoral degree program to begin his or her doctoral study in the Fall, 2007. New doctoral students who receive a Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Doctoral Fellowship ($20K), Master's Fellowship ($10K), or a Tuition Scholarship are not eligible for the $1,000 Doctoral Academic Achievement Scholarship.

Because these scholarships are competitive, international students and non-resident students who receive them will be entitled to pay Texas resident tuition for the term of their scholarships.

Students who receive the doctoral Academic Achievement Scholarships must enroll and complete a minimum total of 15 semester hours of 5000 or 6000 level courses (applicable to the degrees the students seek). A minimum of six of the 15 hours must be taken in the initial semester of the award.

Students do not have to apply for the Academic Achievement Scholarship. Once a student is admitted to a doctoral program, the Graduate School determines if the student is eligible for the scholarship. If a student is eligible for the scholarship, an award letter will automatically be mailed out.
