Fellowship Opportunities from Graduate School
Please read more for deadlines:
Each year the 3 programs (Math, Stat, and AMSC) can nominate students for prestigious fellowships to the Graduate School. Some fellowships can relieve students of teaching duties while others are additional funding for the summer or as a prize. Students are encouraged to submit materials to the AMSC office or Math/Stat office 2 weeks prior to the Graduate School Deadline.
Ann G. Wylie Semester Dissertation Fellowship: Eligible candidates are current UMD doctoral students who will have advanced to candidacy by June 1, 2025, and expect to graduate by August 2026.
Graduate School Summer Research Fellowship: Eligible candidates must be UMD doctoral students who are at "mid-career."
Graduate School Summer Internship Fellowship: Eligible candidates must be UMD doctoral students who are at "mid-career."
Outstanding Graduate Assistant Award: Graduate Assistants must be holding at least a half-time graduate assistantship (TA, RA, or AA) for Fall 2024 and Spring 2025.
Resource Reminders
All PhD students have access to the prospectus repository to upload and view peer's prospectus papers when applying for candidacy. If you have already advanced, it would be helpful to fellow students to upload your prospectus as they prepare for their own candidacy exams.
All students have access to the Math Job Page for internship, fellowship, and career opportunities. Please check periodically.
