[Grad_history_students] Grad Fellowship Competition Now Open

[Sylvester, Roshanna]

The Department of History invites MA in History students to apply for one or both of the following graduate fellowships. While continuing students in the program are given priority consideration for these awards, those who have formally accepted admission as new students in Autumn 2012 may also apply. Since funds are limited, individuals who will receive tuition reimbursement from other sources, such as employers, should not apply for these awards. 

1. Graduate Departmental Assistantship (with stipend): This fellowship provides tuition waivers for six courses over one academic year plus a stipend of $7000 (contingent on funding) in compensation for hours spent on departmental support activities such as

•	Assisting the department in matters of faculty evaluation, promotion and hiring;
