Jacob K. Javits Fellowship
Summary
The Jacob K. Javits Fellowship program formerly provided fellowships to students of superior academic ability—selected on the basis of demonstrated achievement, financial need, and exceptional promise—to undertake study at the doctoral and Master of Fine Arts level in selected fields of arts, humanities, and social sciences. The program stopped accepting applications as of fiscal year 2012.
The Javits Fellowship program was highly competitive, with only 6-8% of applicants receiving funding in any given year.
The fellowship provided an institutional payment—which the fellow's institution accepts in lieu of tuition and fees—and a stipend based on the fellow's financial need as determined by the financial aid office using the student's FAFSA and the established cost of living in the area. In fiscal year 2007, the institutional payment was 30,000. For fiscal year 2008, the maximum stipend was 12,891.
