Sledge and Benedict Fellowships

The Robert W. Sledge and H. Y. Benedict fellowships are for the first year of graduate study toward the master’s, doctor’s, or professional degree at any recognized institution. For eligibility, a nominee must plan to complete his or her undergraduate degree in the academic year in which application is made and must enroll full-time in a graduate or professional program in the fall semester of the award year. Two Sledge Fellowships worth $3,500 and ten Benedict Fellowships worth $2,500 each are awarded each year. All nominees automatically compete for both awards.
