Application requirements

All applicants must meet the minimum standards determined by ASU and Graduate Admissions: https://students.asu.edu/graduate/standards.  Additionally, applicants must meet program specific admission criteria as detailed in the academic program program guide.  Please navigate to the program guide for one of our eligible programs here: https://www.education.asu.edu/degree-programs/masters-degrees

To apply to the academic program, begin by completing the online application found here: https://students.asu.edu/graduate/how-and-when-apply-graduate-admission

Coverdell Fellow candidates are not required to pay the application fee.  Please notify the Teachers College point of contact once your application is complete and ready to submit so the fee may be waived. Do not submit an application fee.

Admissions process

The Coverdell Fellowship requires an application separate from the application to the degree program. Complete the Fellowship application at https://graduate.asu.edu/coverdell-fellowship.  It is recommended that candidates complete the Fellowship application prior to completing the academic program application, as the Description of Service is required to apply the application fee waiver for the academic program application.

Fellow candidates must be admitted to the ASU degree program to be selected for the Coverdell Fellowship.  Selected candidates will be notified approximately 2 weeks following posted deadlines for applications to the degree program.  Only those with completed Fellowship applications at the deadline for academic program applications will be considered.  It is encouraged that candidates complete their applications (both for the academic program and the Fellowship) as early as possible.

Fellows carry out a 300-hour internship each year, and participate in community service projects and professional development opportunities. Renewal of funding depends on academic progress and meeting service obligations.
