GRADUATE OFFICE FELLOWSHIP FUNDS Approximately $2.1 million in Graduate Office Fellowship (GOF) funds are available through the thirteen colleges with graduate programs. The Associate Dean for Graduate Education of each college decides how these funds are dispersed. A number of different models are used. ASK YOUR ASSOCIATE DEAN how these are dispersed in your college! THE GRADUATE SCHOOL DISSERTATION COMPLETION FELLOWSHIPS Ten to twenty fellowships are available to allow students to devote full time to writing the dissertation with the goal that the dissertation will be completed during the tenure of the fellowship. Colleges have the option to renew support for a second semester in special cases. Other MSU financial support, held simultaneously with the fellowship, cannot exceed a one-quarter time assistantship or the equivalent. Selection of fellowship winners will be made by a student's college. The colleges will set the conditions and application procedures for the Graduate School Dissertation Fellowships and will notify the Graduate School of the winners. The Fellowship awards will be dispensed by the Graduate School. The deadline will be announced by The Graduate School, but is usually during the Fall Semester.
