Can anyone explain doctoral fellowships/grants?
I fell into the hype in highschool about scholarships and won a bunch of one-time awards that paid for exactly one year of school. After that I had to work to pay for school al the way through the masters. If I do a phd I don’t want to have to work, too.
So how do fellowships/grants work? Do they pay tuition only, or are they supportive of living expenses/food/etc? How do you get these things? Do you have to be accepted first, or canyou apply before hand? Help!!!

The idea is that a doctoral program will involve so many hours of the student studying for their classes, and then doing their own various TA and research jobs, that they in turn will be rewarded by not having to pay any basic living expenses and tuition. But the doctoral has to be in a program that the school will benefit from, in the sense that it’ll be in a field that you’ll later be teaching in a school. In her case she wants to be an English professor. You also have to maintain a certain GPA level and the program requires a certain GPA level to even be considered for it.
IMO it’s a win-win situation in that she saves literally tens of thousands of dollars each year from tuition and room and board, and is given a stipend of $1,000 each month to spend on what she wants, and she gets the education she wants for her future career.
Hope this info helps.
