Fellowships

Due to University of Texas policies and to encourage equity and collaboration within the Department of Chemical Engineering, students will not be paid in addition to a full fellowship. (Full funding is typically considered $12,000 or more.) Students supported by fellowship are expected to pause their fellowship in a timely manner to comply with the Graduate School policies against working while on fellowship. Some fellowships cannot be paused and instead are decremented based on TA compensation, such as a DOE CSGF. Students are required to communicate with their fellowship administrator in these cases. Special cases where a student receives a fellowship later in their graduate career and lacks the time to pause their fellowship may discuss solutions with the Graduate Advisor. The Graduate Program Coordinator will contact the Graduate School if necessary. Students are strongly encouraged to plan ahead and to TA early in their program if they plan to apply for fully-funded fellowships in the future.
