Graduate Fellows

The Graduate School’s fellowship program is designed to help recruit highly qualified students to Ohio State's graduate programs while advancing the overall quality of graduate education at Ohio State.

A Graduate School fellowship is a financial award made by the Graduate School. Fellows are selected on the basis of academic merit through university-wide competitions without respect to financial need. Graduate fellows cannot be required to perform a service in return for receiving a stipend.
