Campus Dissertation Year Fellowships

Campus currently offers the following dissertation year fellowships. The Literature Department will be able to submit three nominations, with each nomination being a unique student-to-fellowship combination (i.e. nominating a single student to two different fellowships would be two nominations). Students will apply below for consideration. As our nominations are limited, this application will only be open to students who will be in their 6th Year of the PhD Program in 2027-2028. 

Students may submit applications for more than one fellowship, as long as they meet the eligibility requirements for each. Letters of recommendation should be unique to each fellowship, so there should be separate letters submitted for each (if a student is applying to more than one fellowship). It is the student's responsibility to clarify this with their faculty advisor.

Students should closely review each fellowship's details for the eligibility requirements and award details.

• UC President's Dissertation Year Fellowship
• Fletcher's Jones Dissertation Year Fellowship
• Marye Anne Fox Dissertation Year Fellowship

It is the student’s responsibility to ask their faculty advisor to submit the letter of support to litgrad@ucsd.edu by the application deadline. It is also the student’s responsibility to ensure that their application is completed and all required information and attachments have been provided. Incomplete submissions will be disregarded.
