"My graduate Council Fellowship allowed me to take more classes and devote more time to academics and less time to a job or worrying about money. Because of this, I was able to do very well in my classes and to get more out of them. I was able to take extra classes, which allowed me to get ahead so that now I can cut back on my class load and devote extra time to my thesis." |

"Receiving the Future Faculty Fellowship has been a great
blessing for me. Dr. Bruce Murray and Mr. Mike Dunn of the Music Department collaborated
to help me obtain this award from the Graduate School. Because of this fellowship, I will
complete my Master’s degree in Music Performance and will have the opportunity to
acquire a doctorate in Music.
The University of Alabama’s Music Department attracts a diverse group of students and professors who are knowledgeable in various fields of expertise. Without this fellowship, I would have missed the chance to learn musical knowledge that has helped me to grow as a musician." |

"I am getting a Graduate Council Research Fellowship in the third year of my doctoral study. It is a great support to my research study. Not only can I get a monthly stipend but also my tuition is covered. The fellowship also enables me to dedicate more time on my dissertation research. Since I plan to pursue teaching as my future career, I will also be granted a Presidential Graduate Fellowship Supplement. Thanks to the support of the fellowship, our research is beginning to be recognized by industries and academic associations." |

"Through the Joint Faculty Fellowship Program between the University of Alabama Graduate School and Alabama State University, I was able to realize my dream of returning to graduate school to pursue a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics. By contributing full tuition costs and allotting a monthly stipend, the fellowship program has relieved the financial burden that would otherwise have hindered this opportunity. The program also provides academic support by the implementation of mentoring and advisement. As important as the financial and academic aspect is the personal support that the fellowship program administrators provides. As a recipient of the Joint Faculty Fellowship I have been awarded the opportunity to achieve excellence." |

"Funding is a major concern for the majority of those considering graduate education. Fortunately, many helpful resources exist to assist students financially, including Graduate Council fellowships. Being offered a fellowship was an incredible blessing to me, for it lifted a tremendous financial burden from both my family and myself. In addition, it allowed me to focus all of my time and attention on school without having to maintain a job. While the fellowship is only offered for one year, it has supplied me with sufficient funds to pay for my second year tuition, books, and fees, as well as to make personal investments." |
