U.S. CITIZENS AND PERMANENT RESIDENTS AS WELL AS INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR INSTITUTIONAL AID. SOME AWARDS SUCH AS NAMED FELLOWSHIPS, REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SUPPORTING MATERIALS, WHICH ARE NOTED IN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE INDIVIDUAL AWARDS. DISSERTATION-YEAR AWARD APPLICATIONS ARE REVIEWED BY THE OFFICE OF THE PROVOST. DISSERTATION-YEAR AWARDS: STUDENTS ARE INFORMED OF THE COMPETITION AND APPLICATIONS ARE MADE AVAILABLE DURING THE FALL SEMESTER. THE DUE DATE FOR APPLICATIONS IS MID-JANUARY. STUDENTS SUBMIT APPLICATIONS THAT INCLUDE A TEN-PAGE PROPOSAL ON THEIR DISSERTATION RESEARCH, A TWO-PAGE CV AND ONE LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION FROM THE STUDENTS' ADVISOR. EACH STUDENT ALSO PROVIDES THE PROVOST'S OFFICE WITH COPIES OF THEIR TRANSCRIPTS. THE PROVOST'S OFFICE USUALLY RECEIVES ABOUT 200 APPLICATIONS PER YEAR (267 THIS YEAR). THE PROVOST'S OFFICE COMPILES THE APPLICATION PACKET (INCLUDING THE REFERENCE LETTERS AND TRANSCRIPTS) AND ORGANIZES INTERDISCIPLINARY PANELS BY ACADEMIC CLUSTER (SOCIAL SCIENCES, HUMANITIES, SCIENCES/MATH). THERE ARE USUALLY ABOUT 15 PANELS, OF APPROXIMATELY 20 PROPOSALS EACH. THE EXECUTIVE OFFICERS ARE ASKED TO RECOMMEND FACULTY MEMBERS TO SERVE AS REVIEWERS AND THE APPLICATION PACKETS ARE SENT TO THOSE REVIEWERS. USUALLY EACH PANEL IS COMPOSED OF PROPOSALS FROM 3 DIFFERENT DISCIPLINES, WITH A FACULTY MEMBER FROM EACH OF THE REPRESENTED DISCIPLINES. AFTER REVIEWING THE PROPOSALS ON THEIR OWN, THE PANEL MEMBERS MEET AT THE GRADUATE CENTER TO DISCUSS AND RANK THE TOP 5-7 PROPOSALS OUT OF THEIR GROUP OF APPROXIMATELY 20 APPLICATIONS. AFTER ALL THE PANELS HAVE MET, THE PROVOST AND ASSOCIATE PROVOST MAKE THE FINAL DECISIONS ON AWARDS. THE HIGHEST RANKED APPLICANT ON EACH PANEL RECEIVES A MAJOR DISSERTATION FELLOWSHIP, AND DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF FELLOWSHIPS AVAILABLE, ADDITIONAL AWARDS ARE GIVEN, BASED ON THE PANEL RANKINGS. SOME OF THE AWARDS HAVE SPECIFIC TOPICS OR THEMES AND THESE AWARDS ARE, SIMILARLY, MADE BASED ON THE HIGHEST RANKED PROPOSAL THAT MEETS THE SPECIFIC AWARD CRITERIA. SEVERAL OF THE DISSERTATION FELLOWSHIPS ARE REVIEWED OUTSIDE OF THE PROVOST'S OFFICE BY SPECIFIC CENTERS AND INSTITUTES (I.E., THE LEVY CENTER FOR BIOGRAPHY, THE RALPH BUNCHE INSTITUTE, THE EU STUDIES CENTER, ETC.). STUDENTS APPLICATIONS FOR THESE AWARDS ARE FORWARDED TO THE RELEVANT CENTERS FOR REVIEW. THEY ARE ALSO REVIEWED BY THE PANELS CONVENED BY THE PROVOST'S OFFICE. STUDENTS MAY ONLY RECEIVE ONE AWARD (OF $10,000 OR MORE. IN SOME CASES, SMALLER AWARDS, OF $2,000-$5,000 MAY BE COMBINED). AFTER ALL PANELS HAVE MET, AND THE PROVOST AND ASSOCIATE PROVOST HAVE MADE FINAL AWARD DECISIONS, STUDENTS ARE NOTIFIED OF THE DECISIONS.
