(Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the link for “GSAS Spring Awards, including the GSAS Summer Pre-doctoral Fellowships” to open a PDF document outlining the awards descriptions and application instructions from last year’s awards.)

Please note that the applications are due to GSAS on February 11, 2009. This is the date by which the Department must submit all applications and supporting documentation to the Graduate School of Arts and Science. In order for the Department to internally review all applications, the internal departmental deadline for all students to turn in application materials to Jessica Corey is: MONDAY, JANUARY 26, BY 10:00 AM EST. Applications and all supporting documentation MUST be received BOTH ELECTRONICALLY IN WORD FORMAT AS EMAIL ATTACHMENTS to jessica.corey@nyu.edu and via HARD COPY WITH ORIGINAL SIGNATURES by 10:00am in KJCC rm. 701 in order for your application to be considered by the Department. Please take advanced note of this deadline; late applications cannot be considered.

The GSAS website contains information about last year's awards competition. We urge you to review the information posted there in detail as it is likely to be very similar to the updated information that will later be posted regarding the Spring 2009 Competition for Award Year 2009-2010. Please use last year's information as a model to begin considering and preparing the following aspects of your application: application cover page; budget narrative (for some awards); your CV; outline; project description; schedule (for some awards); dissertation abstract (for some awards); project summary (for some awards); teaching statement, teaching evaluations, and unsolicited student testimonials (for some awards); 2 letters of reference; and New York University official transcript.

Please refer to the guide posted on the GSAS website for which materials are necessary for each award. In order to prepare the strongest applications possible, please discuss your written proposals with your faculty advisors and use the remainder of the fall semester and the Thanksgiving and Winter breaks to pull together all the relevant information you will need to draft a strong proposal. Information on all the components of the applications is available at the above link.

It is in your best interest to begin working on your applications early. Please refer to the GSAS website (http://gsas.nyu.edu/page/grad.life.fellowships.html) to monitor any updates and announcements from GSAS.

***If you will be applying for any of the GSAS Spring Awards, please notify Jessica Corey (jessica.corey@nyu.edu) to begin a file for your application. Please denote the specific award for which you will be applying.***

Please let Kit Frick (kit.frick@nyu.edu) know if you have any questions.
