Fellowships and One-Year Tuition Scholarships

One-Year Fellowships and Tuition Scholarships for Doctoral and Master's Students

New doctoral and master's students are eligible for a Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Doctoral Fellowship, Master's Fellowship, or Tuition Scholarship.

Doctoral Fellowships provide $20,000 for one year. To qualify for these awards, new doctoral students must not have taken graduate courses at UNT that can apply to the doctoral degree program prior to awarding of a Doctoral Fellowship. Recipients must enroll for a minimum of twelve (12) graduate semester hours during each long semester and for a minimum of six (6) graduate semester hours over the entire summer.

Master's Fellowships provide $10,000 for one year. To qualify for these awards, new master's students must not have taken graduate courses at UNT that can apply to the master's degree program prior to awarding of a Master's Fellowship. Recipients must enroll for a minimum of nine (9) graduate semester hours during each long semester and for a minimum of six (6) graduate semester hours over the entire summer.

Tuition Scholarships: To qualify for a Tuition Scholarship, new doctoral or new master's students must meet the same criteria as those for Doctoral Fellowships or for Master's Fellowships, respectively. Recipients must enroll for a minimum of nine (9) graduate semester hours during each long semester and for a minimum of six (6) graduate semester hours over the entire summer.

Because Doctoral Fellowships, Master's Fellowships, and Tuition Scholarships are competitive, international students and non-resident students who receive them will qualify for Texas resident tuition for the term of their award. Recipients of Doctoral Fellowships, Master's Fellowships, or Tuition Scholarships are not eligible for Graduate School $1,000 Academic Achievement Scholarships.

The Graduate School does not have application for these awards. Applicants interested in one of these awards should contact the graduate advisor or academic program in the department in which he/she plans to pursue their doctoral or master's degree.

Doctoral Fellowships, Master's Fellowships, and Tuition Scholarship are awarded based upon nominations from the academic areas. The nominations are submitted to the Graduate School and the Graduate School determines that the awardees meet the criteria for the award. The Graduate School then notifies recipients that they have been awarded a Doctoral Fellowship, Master's Fellowship, or Tuition Scholarship.
