Graduate Fellowships

Graduate Fellowships (also referred to as “fellowships” in J. Jeffrey and Ann Marie Fox Graduate School are highly prestigious financial support packages that typically include a stipend, tuition grant-in aid (GIA), and a subsidy for the Penn State Student Health Insurance Plan (SHIP) premium or an external health insurance plan as provided by an external funding agency. Fellowships may be derived from University funds, external funds or a combination. Graduate fellowship recipients do not have assigned service activities or responsibilities such as teaching or supporting the research of faculty projects, but may participate in teaching or research activities as a component of their degree requirements and/or professional development.
