Background
The mission of the Richard A. Harvill Endowment is to perpetuate knowledge of Dr. Harvill, who served as The University of Arizona's (UArizona) president from 1951 to 1971, a period in which The University began its furious post-war enrollment growth, and the institution took its place among the leading research universities of the west. The award targets University of Arizona senior undergraduates, domestic or international, who have completed a bachelor's degree at UArizona in May 2024, have been admitted to a UArizona main campus doctoral program for the fall 2024, and have an undergraduate GPA of 3.5 or higher. The Fellowship provides an annual stipend of $12,000, disbursed in two equal payments between the fall and spring terms and a Graduate Tuition Scholarship that covers base (main campus) graduate level tuition (differential tuition assessed by some programs is not included) for each semester of award.
Award amount:
$12,000 plus full base (main campus) tuition (excludes AFAT fee and student health insurance) for one year only. There are three awards available.
Please note that the Richard A. Harvill Fellow may hold a concurrent graduate research or teaching assistantship, or additional department funds. Fellows will be required to be enrolled for a minimum of 9 graduate units during the tenure of the fellowship (or 6 graduate units if on a concurrent assistantship).
