Northeastern University Dissertation Completion Fellowships
Graduate Dissertation Completion Fellowships provide a one-
semester stipend to outstanding Ph.D. candidates who would benefit from the financial security and the freedom to focus on their final semester
writing. The award is one semester of support and the awardees are expected
to be graduated at the end of the semester in which they hold the DCF.
The stipend for one semester will be half of the current academic year stipend rate for the department where the student’s primary affiliation resides. In addition, both the student’s one-credit registration fee and health fees will be covered by the award for the semester in which the student holds the fellowship. The award must be used during the semester for which it is awarded and may not be deferred. Students are expected to complete their dissertation during the period of the award and may not hold any employment, internal or external, or awards during that term including outside fellowships, research assistant appointments, or teaching assistant appointments. For students on federal loan, a concurrent DCF award may result in an adjusted loan amount. Please consult the Student Financial Services Offices ([email protected]) for additional information.
