The Robert Plant Armstrong Fellowship

The privately endowed Armstrong Fellowship Program in the School of Arts and Humanities at UTD permits the graduate program to award a few modest fellowships each academic year. In contrast to teaching assistantships, which involve part-time work for the school and are based solely on students’ academic record, these awards are based on financial need as well as academic merit. Thus, applicants must provide the fellowship committee information on their incomes as well as estimated expenses.

While the awards are direct payments to recipients, the school requires Armstrong fellows to study full time and expects that they use the grants toward university tuition. Indeed, most of the grants would qualify recipients for in-state tuition, should they not otherwise qualify for it. Students may hold teaching assistantships and Armstrong grants simultaneously.

The application form for the next academic year is due in the Arts and Humanities Office on March 19th. Although a university-wide scholarship committee must endorse the school’s nominations for awards, that process should allow the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies in Arts and Humanities to inform recipients in late April.

Students interested in applying for this grant should print and fill out the application form and turn it into the Arts and Humanities office, located on the fourth floor of the Jonsson building. (map of campus)
