Fellowship Opportunities
The Department of French at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign announces a fellowship package for outstanding applicants to our graduate program for 2009-2010:
- $20,000/year for up to 3 years
- plus up to 4 years of teaching assistantship
- full tuition and fee waivers in each year
This fellowship is intended to give recipients the opportunity to focus on course work at a critical point in their program of study and also develop the teaching experience essential for professional development. Applicants at the Masters level intending to continue on to the doctorate may apply. No additional application materials are required to be considered for funding awards. Deadline: January 15, 2009.
Financial Aid
Subject to budgetary conditions, and assuming satisfactory academic and teaching performance, the Department offers two years of financial aid toward the M.A. degree and an additional four years of support toward completion of the Ph.D.
Teaching Assistantships are the most common form of graduate student support at Illinois. The usual appointment requires teaching three courses during the academic year.
Research Assistantships require the recipient to assist with a faculty member's research for a specific number of hours per week. A research assistantship may be combined with a teaching assistantship. Research assistantships are not normally available to first-year graduate students.
Tuition and Fee Waivers are included in all fellowship, teaching assistantship, and research assistantship awards.
