MFA Completion Fellowship AY26/27

This fellowship is intended to provide outstanding MFA students with financial support to assist in the process of completing their thesis or final project. The fellowship consists of full support for one academic semester (either Fall 2025 or Spring 2026) and includes a monthly stipend equal to that of the current 50% GPTI salary, tuition coverage, mandatory fees, and coverage under the Student Gold health insurance plan. Please note that students may not engage in other forms of paid employment during the time they receive a fellowship and fellows may not accept another fellowship or grant during the same period. The purpose of the fellowship is to allow recipients to devote their full attention to their academic progress.
