My institution offers a masters degree in an eligible field, but not a Ph.D. Since they do not offer a doctoral program, can I get funding to pursue a masters degree in this field?
No. The Javits Fellowship Program offers funding for students pursuing doctoral studies in eligible fields. The only exceptions to this are certain Fine Arts programs in which no Ph.D. is offered nationwide. As long as Ph.D. programs in your field exist, a master’s degree is not considered the terminal degree and is not eligible for funding.
