<p>Doctoral students in the Spanish graduate program making satisfactory progress are supported for <strong>five years</strong>. Masters students in the Spanish Graduate program making satisfactory progress are supported for <strong>two years</strong>. Support for our students comes from a combination of fellowships & teaching positions. </p> <p>Year-long and quarter-long fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis, typically to doctoral students in their first year or one of their two dissertation research/writing years. Other miscellaneous fellowships, such as travel stipends for conference presentations and stipends for research abroad, are available as well.
