Merriwether Fellowships 2012

The Graduate School is pleased to recognize and support academic excellence with the Merriwether Fellowships. We encourage you to nominate outstanding students for these awards. The nomination process is described below.

The Graduate School will award up to four Harry Merriwether Fellowships for the 2012-2013 academic year. This year these Merriwether Fellowships will provide a stipend of $2,000 per student for the academic year. Selection is based on professional promise. The following policies apply to nominations:

1. The recipient must be a doctoral student. There are no limitations on the field of study. A recipient is expected to devote full time to graduate study and may hold an assistantship or another fellowship.

2. Each department may nominate only one student for the Merriwethers.

3. Nominations should include the following:

a. A completed NOMINATION FOR MERRIWETHER FELLOWSHIP FORM.

b. The departmental nominator’s letter and at least one additional letter (but no more than 5 letters).

c. The nominee’s resume or vita. This should be as complete as possible. The various types of publication (e.g., abstracts, refereed journal and book articles, non-refereed articles, and other scholarly works), if any, should be listed in full under separate headings.

Three copies of the nomination packet must be submitted to Ms. Julie Reece at the Graduate School, 106 Hargis Hall, by 4:45 p.m., Wednesday, February 1, 2012. Awardees will be notified by letter and will be announced at the Spring 2012 Graduate Student Council Awards Ceremony.
