Scholarships and Fellowships

Graduate Scholarships and Fellowship Information and Guidelines

• Visit our website for annual Graduate Scholarships and Fellowship information. Each fellowship/scholarship has a specific application timeline.
• Recipients must remain in good standing in their degree program and enroll in a minimum of six graduate credits (unless indicated differently) in each semester of the scholarship/fellowship year in order to be eligible for an award. Credit hours must be taken in residence to maintain funding eligibility.
• Most scholarships and fellowship are awarded for two semesters unless otherwise specified.
• Doctoral fellowship recipients are expected to focus primarily on their research. If fellowship recipients plan to engage in employment either on or off campus, they must first receive approval from their respective department chairperson, followed by the Graduate College dean. Recipient employment is limited to 10 hours or less per week and be related to their area of study. 
• All applicants must apply through the Grad Rebel Gateway.
• All applications must be submitted via the Grad Rebel Gateway and each applicant must upload: a C.V., a statement of purpose (maximum 2-3 typed pages), an unofficial UNLV transcript, and full contact information for at least one recommendation provider. Please note that some scholarships/fellowships have additional requirements, so please read and follow the directions for each scholarship/fellowship carefully.
• Scholarships and fellowships are open to all graduate students regardless of immigration status.
• Generally, the application deadline is Dec. 1. Note that all letters of recommendation must have been submitted to the Grad Rebel Gateway by the close of business on Dec. 15.
• Failure to submit all required information and materials by the posted deadline will render the student applicant ineligible for scholarship/fellowship consideration.
• Students should only apply for awards that they are eligible to receive, per the guidelines on the grad college website.
• All awards are subject to funding availability; award amounts change annually. Final award packages/amounts will be noted on award letters to recipients.
