Description The
financial aid criteria document describes the aid available to students
in the department, the range of demands on aid, and the criteria by
which the financial aid committee makes decisions in regards to
funding. The quality of the student's proposal, the adviser's
recommendation letter, and the pool of applicants will weigh most
heavily in awarding
fellowships. Additional factors that will enter into the
decision-making process include: stage in program, rate of progress
through program, grades, number of EX's, previous support from the
department, and evidence of professional activity. The guidelines go on
to explain other criteria for specific forms of aid, such as the
Widenor Teaching Fellowships, and ends with the department policy on
EX's: Students with more than 2 outstanding EX's or with 2 EX's one of
which has been outstanding for more than a year at the time
appointments are made in March/April will no longer be eligible for
TAships or Pre-Dissertation Travel Awards.
