Other Fellowships
The College of Graduate Studies has two major endowed fellowships:
Abraham Glasser Fellowship
This fellowship provides financial support for one year to conduct original research on a full-time basis, unencumbered by assignments as a graduate student instructor.
This fellowship is provided through the generous gift of Abraham Glasser, class of 1943, and his wife Gloria. If you are a full-time PhD student enrolled in chemistry, pharmaceutics, or pharmacology/toxicology and have passed your comprehensive examinations, have been admitted to candidacy, and have demonstrated a reasonable degree of progress in your research, you are eligible to apply for this fellowship.
French/Gano/Kilmer/Pollard Combined Fellowship
The following four endowed fellowships have been combined into a single for full-time PhD students who have started but not completed the research phase of their doctoral studies.
- Clayton French Fellowship endowed by Mrs. Mary I. Banks, in honor of her father, Clayton French.
- William H. Gano (Class of 1884) Memorial Scholarship established by Mrs. William H. Gano in memory of her husband.
- F. B. Kilmer Research Fellowship endowed by the late Dr. Frederick B. Kilmer.
- Augustus T. Pollard Fellowship established by Dr. Augusta T. Pollard.
These fellowships are awarded on an annual basis beginning during the summer semester, if funds are available. If you are a doctoral candidate, you may make formal application for these fellowships by January 15 prior to the summer in which the fellowships are awarded. Application packets are available from the Graduate Admissions Office, at (215) 596-8556. An ad hoc committee of graduate faculty, appointed by the chair of faculty council, will review the applications and may recommend candidates for these fellowships. Upon approval of the graduate subcouncil, candidates for these fellowships are recommended to the Dean of the College of Graduate Studies.
For more information and to apply for any of these fellowships, contact Theresa Rush directly at (215) 596-8886.
