Fellowships

Departmental Fellowships

The Art History Department accepts a select number of first-year students, all of whom receive fellowships which cover full tuition and provide an annual stipend of $15,000 (2004-05) for five years. Students awarded departmental fellowships combine full-time seminar work in their first year with a graduate assistantship (5 hours a week), in which they work with a faculty member or in the Visual Resources Library. In their second and part of their third year, students participate in the departmental TATTO program.

George W. Woodruff Fellowships

The department nominates outstanding applicants for Woodruff Fellowships for graduate study in the arts and sciences. These fellowships cover full tuition and provide an annual stipend of $20,000 (2004-05) for five years. Fifteen are available to first-year students in the arts and sciences.

Emory Graduate Enrichment Fellowships

All applicants who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents are eligible for Emory Graduate Enrichment Fellowships, which cover full tuition and provide an annual stipend of $19,500 (2004-05) for five years if satisfactory progress is made by the recipient. The Graduate School considers each applicant's promise of making a notable contribution to their incoming class by exhibiting particular strengths or characteristics, including for example, unique intellectual achievement, employment experience, nonacademic performance, cultural or personal background.

Arts and Sciences Fellowships

The department awards the Arts and Sciences Fellowships to highly-qualified applicants, which cover full tuition and provide an annual stipend of $19,000 (2004-05) for five years.

Financial Support for Research and Professional Conference Travel

The faculty encourages students to conduct field work, visit collections, and when their research is sufficiently advanced, give papers at conferences. The department funds such projects on a competitive basis. Art history graduate students at Emory have also been successful in winning university and outside grants to support travel and research. Special additional funding made available to the department by the Luce Foundation is available for promising doctoral candidates in American art and architecture for research materials, travel, and the early stages of dissertation research

Deadline for Applications

Students must submit complete applications (including GRE scores, transcripts, and a sample of academic writing) no later than January 3. Consideration for merit awards depends upon receipt of a complete application by the departmental deadline.
