Schiff Fellowships are awarded to promising applicants in Creative Writing – Fiction.

Other Departmental Fellowships, with a range of stipends, are awarded competitively to doctoral students each year, including the Ricking Fellowship.

 

Each Departmental Fellowship is accompanied by a 100% UGS (full tuition waiver).
