ROBERT S. LIPMAN GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS IN PSYCHOLOGY

Eligible graduate students must be researching alcohol-related abuse prevention and treatment, be in good standing, and make good progress toward their degree. Awards will directly support research activities and the dissemination of research findings. Students will receive funding to attend conferences, secure summer research positions, and cover occasional research expenses during the academic year.

For more information about the Lipman Fellowship, contact Dr. Michael T. Bardo, university research professor and director of graduate studies for the Department of Psychology. 

ROBERT S. LIPMAN GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS IN HISTORY

The Department of History offers up to four Lipman Fellowships to recruit promising graduate students and three Lipman “Finishing” Fellowships for advanced doctoral candidates nearing the completion of their dissertations. To qualify for the recruitment fellowship, students must have an undergraduate GPA of 3.5 or higher, provide evidence of their ability to conduct independent research through a writing sample, and complete an interview with department faculty. For the finishing fellowship, eligible students must demonstrate exceptional academic performance, show financial need, and illustrate how a semester of support would significantly advance their ability to complete their degree.

For more information about the Lipman Fellowships, contact Dr. Hilary J. Jones, associate professor of history and director of graduate studies for the Department of History.
 

The fellowship allowed me to dedicate my efforts to my research, attend national conferences, conduct meaningful studies, and prepare my dissertation. It enabled me to present my research on sex differences in cognitive-behavorial effects associated with alcohol use to others in the field. Mia Radevski Lipman Fellow Psychology Ph.D. candidate

Robert S. Lipman’s generous contributions have allowed me to succeed academically and further develop as a scholar. I am on track with completing my required coursework and achieved a 4.0 GPA during my first semester, and I am currently progressing toward developing my research agenda. As a Lipman Fellow, I have also had the opportunity to participate in campus initiatives and events. I am a mentor in the Center for Graduate and Professional Diversity Initiatives’ Start-to-Finish Mentorship Program, which allows me to contribute meaningfully on campus. I also frequently attend departmental and The Graduate School's professional development workshops, contributing to my scholarly development. The funding that I receive through the fellowship has made my success and involvement possible. Kayla Heard Lipman Fellow History Ph.D. candidate
