Florida Atlantic University's Presidential Fellowship is designed to assist FAU graduate programs with the recruitment of superior doctoral and MFA students by adding fellowship funds to an assistantship. Students will also receive graduate research or teaching assistantship. Only newly admitted doctoral and MFA students with initial enrollment in either the Summer 2023 term, Fall 2023 term, or Spring 2024 term are eligible to receive the fellowship. To qualify, the student must be given an assistantship stipend at least equal to the typical level of funding that all first-year doctoral and MFA students receive in the department, and it must be renewable for up to two years. Applicants must have an excellent academic record and excellent letters of recommendation as determined by faculty at the time of admission. Please visit the Graduate College's admission website for more information about the admission requirements and deadlines of each program.
