Reallocation Process

Programs participating in the reallocation process must receive the necessary number of declinations entered by the original awardee(s) into the GradAwards system before submitting the reallocation form to Fellowship Services at grad-schoolfellowships@osu.edu.  Programs may submit the form at any time a sufficient number of declinations have accumulated, but no later than the business day following April 15 at 11:59 p.m., ET.  Prior to awarding the student, the Graduate School will confirm that the program has the required number of declinations entered by the original awardee(s) into the GradAwards system to create the reallocated fellowship.

Funds available for reallocated fellowships may not be used to increase the monthly stipend for nominees awarded fellowships in this competition or to provide support to continuing graduate students already enrolled in the graduate program.

College-Allotted Fellowships that are declined can be re-awarded to a new nominee through the college-allotted process for that specific program only and no later than the business day following April 15 at 11:59 p.m., ET. Reallocations or College-Allotted Fellowships are not cumulative from year to year.
