Dean's Fellowship?
Posted: Thu Feb 23, 2017 9:46 am
Hi all! My acceptance letter states the following:
"I am also pleased to inform you that you have been named a Dean's Fellow, the highest honor conferred upon entering graduate students in the Department of Astronomy, in recognition of your impressive credentials as well as the promise that your department identifies in your future development as a scholar, pedagogue, and researcher."
Can anyone tell me how a Dean's Fellowship is in any way different to another fellowship? I mean everyone gets the same money anyway don't they? I'm not really familiar with the graduate school fellowship system at all and would appreciate any clarification.
Thanks!
