Charles C. Chappelle Fellowship
Deadline: Typically in January prior to the start of the Fall semester of your graduate program. You can find updated information at this web site: http://www.gradschool.purdue.edu/funding/

The Charles C. Chappelle Fellowship provides a one-year fellowship to students with undergraduate degrees from Purdue for the furtherance of post-graduate research at Purdue University. Chappelle Fellows are selected on the basis of character, intellectual ability, and promise of degree attainment. The Chappelle Fellowship provides a stipend, Graduate School Fellow Scholarship, payment of most fees, and a medical insurance supplement. The Differential General Service Fee charged to students by specific schools or colleges (e.g., Krannert School of Management, College of Engineering, School of Pharmacy, and College of Technology) is not provided and is the responsibility of the fellow. Typically offers a one-year stipend of $18,000 and remission of most fees.

Award Provisions
The Lynn Fellowship provides a four-year award package to the student. The tenure of the Lynn Fellowship is one year. The Graduate School supports the stipend, payment of tuition and most fees, and a medical insurance supplement. The graduate program commits three additional years of support, contingent upon satisfactory academic and scholarly progress and work performance. These three years of support, usually in the form of research assistantships, teaching assistantships, or a combination thereof, guarantee to the fellowship recipient a total package of four years. Fellowship recipients must complete an Academic Progress Report and maintain a valid e-mail address with the Graduate School Fellowship Office. Continuation of the Lynn Fellowship award is contingent upon satisfactory academic and scholarly performance and progress; satisfactory work performance, as evaluated by the graduate faculty; and the fellow's ability to meet and maintain Graduate School Fellowship guidelines. Fellows who elect not to accept the financial support offered by the graduate program may be subject to termination of the fellowship award.
