ONCE A PROGRAM'S AWARDS COMMITTEE HAS MADE A NOMINATION, THE OFFICE OF FINANCIAL AID NOTIFIES THE STUDENT OF THE AWARD AND COLLECTS THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION NEEDED TO PAY THE AWARD. 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 IN MID-JANUARY. STUDENTS SUBMIT APPLICATIONS THAT INCLUDE A TEN-PAGE PROPOSAL ON THEIR DISSERTATION RESEARCH, A TWO-PAGE CV, THEIR CURRENT GRADUATE CENTER TRANSCRIPT, AND A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION FROM THEIR ADVISOR. THE PROVOST'S OFFICE USUALLY RECEIVES ABOUT 200 APPLICATIONS PER YEAR (189 IN 2021). THE PROVOST'S OFFICE COMPILES THE APPLICATION PACKET (INCLUDING THE REFERENCE LETTERS) FOR EACH STUDENT AND ORGANIZES INTERDISCIPLINARY REVIEW PANELS BY ACADEMIC CLUSTER (SOCIAL SCIENCES, HUMANITIES, AND SCIENCES/MATH). THERE ARE USUALLY ABOUT 13 PANELS, OF APPROXIMATELY 17-20 PROPOSALS EACH. THE EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF EACH DOCTORAL PROGRAM ARE ASKED TO RECOMMEND FACULTY MEMBERS TO SERVE AS REVIEWERS AND THE APPLICATION PACKETS ARE SHARED ELECTRONICALLY WITH THOSE REVIEWERS. USUALLY EACH PANEL IS COMPOSED OF PROPOSALS FROM THREE 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 APPLICATIONS. AFTER ALL THE PANELS HAVE MET, THE ASSOCIATE PROVOST MAKES THE FINAL DECISIONS ON AWARDS. THE HIGHEST RANKED APPLICANTS ON EACH PANEL RECEIVE MAJOR DISSERTATION FELLOWSHIPS, AND DEPENDING ON THE NUMBER OF FELLOWSHIPS AVAILABLE, ADDITIONAL AWARDS ARE GIVEN, BASED ON THE PANEL RANKINGS. MAJOR AWARDS ARE CURRENTLY $25,000 AND INCLUDE IN-STATE TUITION COVERAGE. SOME OF THE AWARDS HAVE SPECIAL 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 CENTER FOR PLACE, CULTURE AND POLITICS). STUDENT APPLICATIONS FOR THESE AWARDS ARE FORWARDED TO THE RELEVANT CENTER FOR REVIEW, IN ADDITION TO BEING REVIEWED BY THE PANELS CONVENED BY THE PROVOST'S OFFICE. LISTS ARE COMPARED PRIOR TO AWARD DECISIONS, AND STUDENTS TYPICALLY ONLY RECEIVE ONE AWARD (OCCASIONALLY SMALLER AWARDS ARE COMBINED TO A MAXIMUM OF $25,000). AFTER ALL PANELS HAVE MET AND AWARD DECSIONS ARE MADE STUDENTS ARE NOTIFIED OF AWARDS BY EMAIL. AWARDS ARE ENTERED BY THE FINANCIAL AID OFFICE LATER IN THE SEMESTER. AFTER AWARD OFFERS ARE MADE, A MEMO IS ALSO SENT TO EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND TO FACULTY REVIEWERS TO ANNOUNCE THE RECIPIENTS. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ROBIN GARRELL PRESIDENT, GRADUATE CENTER (TO 8/202 0 440543 0 0 0 0 0 19800 0 12836 0 473179 0 0 BRIAN PETERSON S.V.P.
