Africa Scholarship Fund for PhD Students at Cornell University in 2022

 Our PhD students who are enrolled on campus get Cornell University Fellowships in about 20% of cases (referred to as Sage Fellowships or Cornell Fellowships depending on the field of study). Full tuition, a nine-month stipend, and Cornell individual student health insurance are frequently included with these fellowships. Students may also get a summer stipend.

A fellowship offers graduate students financial assistance so they can complete graduate studies without having to take on additional teaching or research responsibilities (as they are in a teaching or research assistantship). Fellowships are typically merit-based internal or external awards that provide financial aid to students enrolled in full-time academic programs.

Many beginning doctoral students are supported by the Graduate School through scholarships given by their graduate discipline.

Speak with other students in your profession as well as your director of graduate studies (DGS) to learn more about the wide range of awards that will be suitable for you. An wide list of available external fellowships is also available on UCLA's fellowship database (GRAPES).
