Dolores Zohrab Liebmann Fellowship
Posted: 11/7/2016 (Funding)
The Graduate School is pleased to announce the annual competition for the Dolores Zohrab Liebmann Fellowship. Mrs. Liebmann set up a trust fund to provide funding for graduate students of “outstanding character and ability who hold promise for achievement and distinction in their chosen fields of study.” The Graduate School will be able to send only three nominees to the national competition and is conducting an internal selection competition.
AWARD: The fellowship provides an $18,000 stipend plus tuition and may be renewed for a total of three years of funding.
FIELDS: Social sciences, humanities, natural sciences and professional (such as law, medicine, engineering, architecture). The selection committee has a strong preference for supporting scholarly endeavors (not practice degrees).
ELIGIBILITY:
- Must be in an doctoral or professional degree program at the UW
- Must be U.S. citizen
- Must have outstanding undergraduate record
- Must show financial need
- Must have received baccalaureate degree
- Must conduct studies and research in the United States
Please note that financial need requirement will be determined based on the FAFSA, which must be on file with the UW. They will only consider students showing in the UW Financial Aid system with need (any level). If you have not filed a FAFSA, please do so immediately if you wish to apply for this fellowship. Information is here: http://www.washington.edu/students/osfa/. If the UW determines you don’t have need based on an initial review of the FAFSA, you can either 1) determine whether you can refigure your need requirement, which is definitely possibly through the Office of Student Financial Aid’s process, or 2) decide not to apply for the Liebmann fellowship.
Deadline: 01/03/2017
