Applicants for the Illinois State University Foundation Fellowship please note: The Department of English admits 40-50 new graduate students each year. This fellowship is a university-wide award.
Therefore, the Department of English reserves the right to nominate the most competitive applicants from all graduate English programs for Foundation Fellowship consideration. Typically the department
forwards approximately 10-15 applications each year for review.
Selected students will be requested by their graduate program coordinator to submit an application packet for the fellowship to the Department of English by March 5. (Please do not submit this
fellowship application directly to the Graduate School.)
An application packet consists of an application form, your personal statement presenting your qualifications, and three letters of recommendation specifically recommending the student for this
Foundation Fellowship award.
