Merit-Based Financial Aid

University Fellowships and Scholarships

Graduate and Professional Scholar Awards.  Outstanding students in the graduate and professional schools are eligible for merit-based scholarships. The awards range from $2,000 to $5,000 per year for full-time study for as many as two academic years.

To apply, complete the appropriate section on the graduate and professional school application form. Along with the application, students should submit any statements that provide evidence of academic or artistic achievement and significant life, work, or extracurricular activities. The award is contingent upon acceptance into a graduate or professional school program. Only those applicants receiving awards are notified.

Generally, the application deadline for fall semester awards is March 1. If a specific program has set an earlier deadline, the student must submit an application form to the appropriate admissions office by that date.

Other Nonuniversity Awards.  Some graduate students at the university are supported by fellowships funded by sources outside the university. Students may wish to consult standard reference materials for sources of nonuniversity fellowships.

Students should be aware that each department continually seeks funds from outside agencies to help defray student expenses. Grants and awards of this nature vary each year. Inquiries regarding the availability of such monies can be made through program advisers.

Students should contact clubs; fraternal, religious, and national professional organizations; and local interest groups for possible aid through stipends and tuition credits. A student who receives any of these awards is required to notify the Office of Financial Aid.

Ralph Johnson Bunche Distinguished Graduate Award. Established in 1979, this distinguished graduate award is named after Ralph Johnson Bunche, the black American statesman, Nobel Peace laureate, and recipient of an honorary Doctor of Laws from Rutgers in 1949.

Bunche fellowships provide $14,000 per academic year plus tuition remission for as many as two years to exceptional full-time students with backgrounds of substantial educational or cultural disadvantage.

Rutgers Excellence Fellowship Award.  This award is issued by departments of the university on the basis of exceptional academic merit, as evidenced by scholarly promise. The award is for as much as $14,000 plus tuition remission. It is renewable for three additional years.
