Dissertation Completion Awards. This email outlines the process and
deadlines for these awards. Information on other awards/assistantships
has been sent under separate cover.
ANNOUNCING THE 2004-2005 GRADUATE SCHOOL DISSERTATION COMPLETION AWARDS
Dissertation Completion Award:
The Dissertation Completion Award is designed to assist doctoral
students who are writing their dissertation and expect to defend and
graduate no later than August 2005. This assistance is provided by
assuring that the student is free from other departmental
responsibilities so that he/she may concentrate on research and writing
to ensure timely degree completion. Recipients will be required to
register for 12 hours in each of fall and spring semesters and 9 hours
during the summer.
Eligibility:
*Doctoral students who are admitted to candidacy by the date of the
nomination deadline.
*Doctoral students who will complete and defend their dissertations in
time to qualify for December 2004, May 2005, or August 2005 graduation.
[The assumption here is that the student is already at the writing stage
at the time of the nomination.]
*Students who will not graduate by this deadline as a result of a capstone internship requirement are also eligible.
