UD-UTC Graduate Fellowships
UD-UTC graduate fellowships are awarded to students pursuing master's and PhD degrees in areas of relevance to the theme of the UD-UTC. Applicants may be either new students to the University of Delaware or continuing students. New students must be nominated by a faculty member willing to advise the student. Continuing students may be self-nominated or nominated by their advisors. Applicants must be U.S. citizens. Fellowships are awarded on the basis of academic qualifications, and relevance to the UDUTC theme and goals.
Fellowships cover graduate school tuition, pay a stipend of $1800 per month for 12 months, and include a $1000 allowance for travel and supplies and a $1500 allowance for computing. Fellowship recipients are required to participate in the activities of the center and conduct research in transportation; however, the fellowships do not directly support specific projects.
Applications consist of the following:
- Application form.
- Transcript.
- At least two recommendation letters.
- Statement of research interests, previous research experience (if any), particular interests and career plans, and how the fellowship will contribute to the student’s academic and professional development. Statements are limited to two pages (double-spaced, 12-point font). New students may draw their statements from their graduate school applications.
Complete applications must be submitted ud-utc@udel.edu by March 1.
