Some Recruitment Fellowships and Awards are granted to graduate students with superior academic records. Students granted fellowships and awards generally are required to be registered for a minimum of 6-8 credit hours per semester.

Fee Scholarships

Full or partial fee scholarships are generally awarded together with graduate research and teaching assistantships. Fee scholarships may pay both in- and out-of-state tuition. (A small portion of fees is not remittable, even with a "full" fee scholarship.) These scholarships are administered by department chairs, directors of external grants, and heads of administrative offices who hire graduate, research, and teaching assistants.

School of Education Fellowship

The School of Education doctoral fellowships are for entering graduate students intending to pursue a doctoral degree (Ph.D. or Ed.D.) in the School of Education. To be considered for these fellowships, students should have an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.5, exceptional quality in any graduate coursework completed at the time of application, or other means of documenting exceptional promise. The School of Education Doctoral Fellowships consist of a four-year financial aid package with an annual stipend of $19,000 plus tuition for 24 credit-hours per year and subsidized health insurance (less mandatory fees as described on the IU Bursar's Web site). The first year of the fellowship is devoted to full-time study. In the subsequent years, students will be assigned to an 18- to 20-hour per week Student Academic Appointment in the form of a teaching, research, or graduate assistantship. Funding may be available to students who are offered this fellowship to visit the Bloomington campus before accepting the fellowship. Students who apply to any doctoral program in the School of Education are automatically considered for a School of Education Doctoral Fellowship.

During all four years of the program, students will be assigned to an 18- to 20-hour per week Student Academic Appointment in the form of a teaching, research, or graduate assistantship.
