AHMA students who are advanced to candidacy by the end of their tenth semester may be eligible for a
Dissertation Completion Fellowship (DCF), which provides a two-semester stipend of $16,000 plus fees
(and NRST exemption for international students). The DCF may be used during any semester in candidacy
before the end of the mandated Normative Time (fourteen semesters for AHMA students). You must fill
out a “DCF Activation Form” to elect the semesters in which you will take the DCF.
Please consult the DCF website for complete details.
