Annenberg Fellowship Nomination Process
The USC Annenberg Graduate Fellowship Program is administered by the USC Graduate
School. Nominations will be accepted from the deans of the three eligible Schools.
Only students who are regarded as truly outstanding by the faculty and thus considered
deserving of a USC Annenberg Graduate Fellowship should be nominated. It is, of
course, expected that all nominees will be approved for full admission by the program
to which they are applying.
Nominations will be made on-line by the dean’s office. The nomination deadline for
students in Ph.D. programs is 5:00 p.m., Friday, January 29th, 2010. The nomination deadline
for students applying to M.A. and M.F.A. programs will vary by program. Each M.A.
and M.F.A. program deadline will be determined by the dean in consultation with
the Graduate School.
Review Process and Notification
The application dossiers will be reviewed as soon as possible after the submission
deadline. Letters for those students who will receive fellowship offers will be
generated by the Graduate School and sent directly to the students by both email
and hard copy. The Graduate School’s goal is to make award decisions within 2 weeks
of the submission deadline. Schools will be notified as soon as decisions are made.
It is the responsibility of the school to notify those students who will not receive awards of the decision.
