The Fellowships Team in UChicagoGRAD advises students at every step of the fellowship application process. We are happy to meet with students in one-on-one sessions, or provide written feedback on fellowship application drafts. If you aren’t sure where to start, we encourage you to join one of our ongoing Exploring Fellowships info sessions (offered monthly, RSVP via GRAD Gargoyle).

Two fellowships with upcoming deadlines may appeal to many students:

FLAS Fellowships fund graduate students concentrating on modern foreign language and international or area studies. In the current cycle, UChicago will accept applications in three world areas: East Asia, Eastern Europe (summer study only), and Middle East.

The Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Award (DDRA) (separate from the “Fulbright US Student Program”) supports doctoral students whose research requires significant time abroad. Doctoral candidates can propose 6-12 months of research in non-Western countries on this fellowship. Interested applicants MUST apply through UChicagoGRAD. An information session will be held on Monday, February 6 at 3pm.
