Apply to Become a UGrow Fellow

If you are a PhD or MFA student in English, History, Modern Languages and Literatures, or Philosophy who will receive a graduate assistantship in 2025-26, you are eligible to apply for one of the UGrow Fellowships listed below, provided you have the endorsement of your DGS and faculty adviser. Placements will last for the academic year, to replace your regular assistantship duties; you will continue to receive your regular graduate stipend and health insurance subsidy.

UGrow Fellows will devote approximately 15 hours a week during the academic year to their work. At the end of the fellowship period, Fellows should have a portfolio of work and valuable experience to assist them in their future career choices, whether in the academic or the non-academic worlds.

To apply, download the UGrow application form 2025, complete it, save as directed in PDF format, and send it as an attachment to jcohn@miami.edu, along with:

  • Application letter, explaining your interest in and qualifications for your chosen position(s).
  • Résumé (note: not an academic c.v.).

All items are due by Monday, April 14, 2025

Please arrange for a faculty adviser and your director of graduate studies to send a brief endorsement of your application directly to jcohn@miami.edu by Monday, April 14, 2025

Some placements may interview candidates as part of the selection process.

We will announce new fellows in early to mid-May.
