The UNLV Foundation Board of Trustees Fellowship is available to doctoral students in the final two years of their doctoral program during the fellowship. The fellowship award covers tuition, fees, and full health insurance benefits, and provides a stipend each semester. Fellowship recipients will receive a waiver of out-of-state tuition during the fellowship year, if applicable. Applicants must submit their dissertation committee chair as the recommendation provider. The letters of recommendation should describe the applicant's academic accomplishments, dissertation topic, and the nature of the work the applicant would undertake during the fellowship years. Criteria for selection will also include demonstrated excellence in research; finalists will be required to participate in a face-to-face interview with the awards committee.
