Overview
The purpose of the Provost’s Distinguished Fellowship/Scholarship program is to support programs in the recruitment of OSU’s most meritorious graduate students. Newly admitted (i.e. for the 2025-2026 academic year) doctoral students, and newly admitted master’s students in degree programs where a Ph.D. degree does not exist at OSU, are eligible for nomination for either award. Recipients may receive either a Provost Fellowship or a Provost Scholarship but may not receive both. Graduate students pursuing a certificate only are ineligible for nomination.
Details
- As a Provost Fellowship, the student is awarded a 12-month stipend, disbursed in four equal installments; a matriculation fee waiver, if applicable; a partial mandatory fee waiver each term; an academic year tuition waiver; supplemental funds to cover the cost of enrollment in three graduate credits during summer term; and subsidized health insurance.
- As a Provost Scholarship, the student is awarded a sum, disbursed in three equal installments. Scholarships may be offered in conjunction with a graduate assistantship or a fellowship (excluding Provost Fellowships), but neither is a requirement for receiving a Provost Scholarship. Part-time students are eligible for Provost Scholarships. Recipients must register for at least 3 credits each term of the award.

Cost/funding for participants
Funding Format Details
Provost’s funding is available for award in two formats: (1) Fellowship or (2) Scholarship.
1. As a Fellowship, the college will award the student:
- A 12-month stipend including a matriculation (if applicable) and fee subsidy ($40,000 total for each doctoral student, $35,000 total for each master’s student), disbursed in four installments each term (Fall 2024, Winter 2025, Spring 2024, and Summer 2025).
- An academic year tuition waiver.
- Supplemental funds to cover the cost of enrollment in three graduate credits during summer 2025 term.
In addition, the Graduate School will formally appoint recipients as OSU graduate fellows to allow access to subsidized health insurance under the prevailing graduate fellow health insurance plan.
2. As a Scholarship, the college will award the student a sum, disbursed in three equal installments. Individual Scholarship amounts may vary within a college and are at the discretion of the Dean but can be no less than $3,000 over the academic year and cannot exceed the full-time enrollment cost at resident tuition rates in the student’s respective college/program; currently $13,716 for full-time students in most colleges/programs. Colleges may offer Scholarships in conjunction with an academic year assistantship, but an assistantship is not required to receive a Provost Scholarship. As such, Provost’s Scholarship funds are separate from and in addition to any financial support offered by the unit. The Graduate School encourages colleges to consider amounts distributed within a program and possible guidelines to address consistency among recipients. The Graduate School will manage term-to-term allocations in conjunction with minimum student enrollment requirements.
