Indiana University Credit Union Dissertation Year Fellowship Application Information

This year, the Indiana University Credit Union (IUCU) Dissertation Year Fellowship(DYF) Competition is earlier than usual. Also, the student part of the application goes through the COMPASS system, which I can’t monitor for new applications. Why does this matter? It matters because it means that I won’t know you’ve applied until after March 5th. I wouldn’t be able to gather your letters of recommendation, notify the GAC that it will need to review and rank the department’s nominations, or have the DGS write your departmental recommendation until March 5th or 6th at the earliest. As spring break begins on the 9th, this is a problem.

Therefore, if you are planning to apply for the IUCU DYF, please send me your application materials, and have your recommenders send me your letters by Wednesday, February 29th. This will allow us to get all ducks in a row before the campus shuts down for the break. You will still need to complete your part of the application online by March 2nd.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
