Award Details
Your Graduate Fellowship award consists of a grant and employment. The grant portion of the award will be credited directly to your tuition account, with half the amount posted each semester.
If you choose to accept the Fellowship Employment, it will be paid to you in a bi-weekly paycheck via direct deposit.
Employment Award
Fellowship placement information and paperwork will be mailed to students along with their award letter by the Office of Student Financial Services. The Sawyer Business School Dean’s Office will coordinate the placement of students in their respective departments. It is imperative that students return their employment placement paperwork to the Dean’s Office in a timely manner to ensure that they are provided with a department assignment.

Renewal
Renewal of Sawyer Business school fellowships is possible based on satisfactory performance and a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0. Please note, fellowship awards are available to full-time students for only two consecutive years (four semesters), provided they meet all renewal requirements.
In addition, if you graduate, withdraw, take a leave of absence, or enroll below half-time status, you are no longer entitled to this funding. A change in your enrollment status can impact your award, so be sure to check your award letter for the required enrollment status and register for the appropriate credits prior to the close of each “Add/Drop period”. If renewed, fellowship amounts remain the same and will not be revised to reflect any annual tuition increase.
