Office of Graduate Education Announces New Fellowship Recipients
The Office of Graduate Education announces the new fellowship recipients for 2016-17. The Office supports fellows in three categories — Dissertation, Diversity and Presidential. Each fellowship carries a stipend, tuition and health insurance.
Fellows are selected through a competitive process that begins with a nomination by the major department and concludes with a review by a faculty selection committee.
Fellows and their programs are:
Dissertation
- Emily Kalaf, Biomedical Engineering
- Edward Holt, History
- Mark Grzovic, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences
- Ryan VanPatten, Clinical Psychology
- Sara Baumann, Chemistry
Diversity
- Caleb Bob, Public Administration
- Idolina Hernandez, History
- Dominique Lockett, Political Science
- Pedro Ruiz, Public and Social Policy
Presidential

Dissertation fellows receive a year of support to assist in completion of the dissertation
without other responsibilities. Diversity and Presidential fellows are supported for
two years for master’s degrees and four years for doctoral degrees. Students who begin
in a master’s program and move to a doctoral program are eligible for four years of
total funding. Presidential and Diversity fellows may serve as graduate assistants
as part of their fellowships and all fellows are required to perform some type of
service to the Office of Graduate Education or the greater University.
