Outstanding Doctoral Students
The Jones Fellowships are designed to attract and support outstanding doctoral students. The program seeks applicants with the demonstrated potential for significant leadership in education in a variety of roles, including but not limited to the following:
- Teaching,
- Administration,
- Service, and
- Scholarship.
High potential master's-level applicants who plan to pursue the doctorate may apply for Fellowships as well as students who seek immediate admission to doctoral programs.
Nine-month Research Assistantships are available to supplement the fellowships and to provide a total stipend of approximately $22,500.
Together, a Research Assistantship and a Jones Fellowship constitute a three-year, annually renewable financial aid package, which includes
- A Cash Stipend,
- Out-of-State Tuition and Fee Waivers, and
- Additional employment as a summer Research Assistant may be possible but is not guaranteed.
Recruitment visits to Texas Tech University are provided for applicants who are finalists for the Fellowships.
