Renewals
If you currently are supported on a College of Engineering Fellowship and it is your first year of support, you will need to re-apply via the attached renewal application form. Please note that these fellowships can only be renewed one time; that is, funding can only be obtained from the Dean's office for a maximum of 2 years. If you have been supported for two or more years, you need to discuss the potential for continued funding with your home department or research center. Also, only students who are deemed as making adequate progress toward their degree shall have their fellowships renewed. So please take the renewal process seriously and fully complete the renewal form.
