Many first year graduate students have been promised Summer Research Fellowships. Those who meet the minimum academic requirements of the Graduate School (B average in course work), are making satisfactory progress in their degree program, and have selected research directors by December 15 will automatically receive the fellowship or will be eligible for an equivalent Research Assistantship.
Advanced graduate students must apply for a summer research fellowship. Application forms will be distributed in the Spring semester. If funds become scarce and the Department cannot support all applicants, preference will be given to students who are finishing within a year's time. A student in the graduate program is eligible for consideration for 5 years of summer subsidy (from any source or combination of sources) from the time he or she begins graduate work at KU, after which a petition outlining special circumstances and endorsed by the Research Director must be approved by the Graduate Affairs Committee to extend the period of summer subsidy.
