What makes up a Columbia University Fellowship Award?
The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences offers a wide variety of fellowships to students based on merit. These awards are made on both an annual and multi-year basis. Fellowships often provide payment of tuition and health fees in addition to a stipend for living expenses. In the course of the doctoral program, the fellowship can take the form of a teaching or research appointment which provides for tuition, health fees and a salary. Often these salaries are supplemented by an additional stipend for living expenses. All fellowship decisions for applicants and continuing students are made by the departments. All Fellows must apply annually for renewal of fellowships through the departments.
