The Jacob K. Javits Fellowships Program was established in 2002 by the U.S. Department of Education. Javits Fellowships may be awarded to undergraduate students who are about to enter graduate school and graduate students who have not yet completed their first year of graduate study. These are awarded to students pursuing doctorate degrees or students pursuing masters degrees if the masters degree is the highest degree offered in the approved field of study. Approved fields of study include social sciences, the arts, and humanities. Students must demonstrate (1) superior ability and achievement, (2) exceptional promise, and (3) financial need. Javits Fellowships are offered only to current U.S. citizens or permanent residents or citizens of any of the Freely Associated States. Students awarded Javits Fellowships receive $41,483 on average. The application package and applicant information form are available online. All application information can be found on the Jacob K. Javits Fellowships Program Web Page. National deadline for applications is October 3. Dr. Daniel McGuiness, Writing, HU 272, x2851, dmcguiness@loyola.edu Jacob K.
