The FIU McNair Graduate Fellowship was created to encourage promising undergraduate McNair Scholars to pursue their graduate education at Florida International University. Beginning this Fall 2011 semester, FIU’s University Graduate School will award a limited number of FIU McNair Graduate Fellowships to McNair Scholars based on a nomination from their graduate program. To be considered for the fellowship a student must be fully admitted to a master’s or doctoral degree program at FIU for the Fall 2011 semester. Preference will be given to students who are entering a doctoral program.

FIU McNair Graduate Fellowships for doctoral students provide four years of support with a $23,000 annual stipend plus a tuition waiver and individual health insurance. The University Graduate School will provide the support for the first two years in the form of a fellowship. The academic department will continue to provide the same level of support during the 3rd and 4th years through a (0.5 FTE) teaching or research assistantship. Students may not receive other FIU fellowships or fellowships from outside agencies during the first two years of the award.
