This is a one-year award that includes a $21,400 academic year fellowship stipend plus a scholarship for full tuition and 50 percent of the mandatory fees as listed in the tuition and mandatory fees table. Students will be responsible for the remainder of their mandatory fees and any course fees. Recipients of the Iowa Arts Fellowship may not hold other paid appointments (TA, RA, instructor) during their fellowship year. The appointing program must provide the remaining years of financial support to a student receiving this fellowship. This funding support must be a 25% or greater graduate assistantship or equivalent fellowship. 

Typically fellowships cannot be used in combination with any other source of support (e.g., fellowship/scholarship, grant, graduate assistantships, or employment outside the University of Iowa) since the fellowships are meant to provide protected time for the student to advance their studies. Failure to report additional employment can be considered in future applications/nominations/continued Graduate College funding for both the student and the department. For more information or to ask for a possible one-time exception, contact the Graduate College.
