[Faculty] Call for nominations - Spring 2022 graduate student fellowship and scholarship opportunities

Mon Mar 14 14:37:45 PDT 2022

Dear Colleagues,

This is a reminder that if you are planning to nominate JDP students for
the PGRF and/or UGF, please email me the completed forms by *Friday, March
18, 2022*.

If you have incoming international or nonresident JDP students, I strongly
encourage you to nominate them for the PGRF.  As you all know, the
College’s allocation of NRTW is limited. Thus, any PGRF award would be very
helpful to the JDP.

For PGR nominations, please include the candidate's GPA and one or two
paragraphs on why the student deserves the award.
