The major purpose of the doctoral fellowship program is to afford promising students an opportunity to work with outstanding faculty supervisors in an attempt to strengthen the fellow's development as a scholar while supporting the research agenda of the supervisor. A side benefit for the fellow is to experience the Regent University ethos and community. An expectation of this program is for fellows to work in residence with faculty supervisors. Note the following:

• Returning Regent doctoral students must have a GPA of 3.5 or higher for their entire Regent doctoral program in order to be considered for a fellowship.
• Prospective students must submit the School of Education doctoral program application prior to submitting the fellowship application in order to be considered.
• For the period July 1, 2009, to June 30, 2010, applicants for the Selig Fellowship must commit to 15 office hours per week between the hours of 9am-3pm, Monday-Friday; applicants for the Dean's Fellowship must commit to 10 office hours per week between the hours of 9am-6pm, Monday-Friday.
• Selig fellows will receive a $15,000 yearly stipend while the Dean's fellows will receive a $10,000 stipend; both will be paid twice monthly, over the 12-month commitment, along with a 100% tuition scholarship. The scholarship portion of each fellowship will cover four semesters (from the summer of one year through the summer of the following year). Fellows will be responsible for all other student related fees (e.g., technology, student services, parking, and textbooks). Adjunct teaching assignments or other duties may be provided to increase the yearly stipend.
• Specific work schedule and assignments must be approved by the faculty supervisor and the Department Chair for the Doctoral Programs. Duties generally will focus on scholarly activities such as research, data analysis, and publication. Attendance at select meetings and university chapel is encouraged.
• Fellows must earn a minimum 3.5 GPA every term and be in good standing with all of the university policies and procedures (e.g., code of conduct and library policies).
• Renewal of fellowships for subsequent years is not automatic. Application procedures, deadlines, and awards are subject to change each year.

If you are interested in applying for a fellowship, please do the following:

1. Review each faculty supervisor's profile to determine which fellowship opportunity is best for you.
2. Complete the fellowship application and submit by March 1, 2009.

If you are a faculty member and wish to request a fellow, please submit the Faculty Application.

Fellowship awards are based upon a selection process conducted by supervisors and the doctoral fellowship committee. The number of awards is contingent upon available funds. If you have questions or need assistance, please contact Elizabeth Pulley at sarapul@regent.edu or 866-402-9938.
