Center for the Book
Graduate Fellowships & Graduate Assistantships

Fellowships
The UICB offers Center for the Book Graduate Fellowships to support graduate student work in the Certificate program. These awards entail a stipend of money paid monthly and will also permit recipients to pay in-state tuition. Applicants should be graduate students enrolled in good standing in the Center's certificate program or newly admitted students.

Research Assistantships
Research Assistantships are available in three studio areas; bookbinding, printing and papermaking as well as one RA engaged in web development and digital print production. Research Assistants work in the studios for approximately 10 hours a week, receive a partial tuition remission, a stipend paid out over the academic year and health insurance. The number of assistantships available varies year to year.

Available funding is pending for both Fellowships and Research Assistantships at this time. Applications are being accepted and notifications will be sent out by mid-late April.

To Apply
Submit a brief letter of application including any specific skills in binding, papermaking, hand printing or digital technologies, a listing of any employment or financial support received through the University, and whether you are applying for a Graduate Assistantship, Fellowship, or both.

Criteria for selection will be based on merit and need, with preference given to students lacking other means of institutional support and, for the Fellowships, to students focusing on the arts and technologies.

THE APPLICATION DEADLINE for 2009-10 is March 30, 2009.
