Apply for the Honors Graduate Teaching Fellowship
This message has been approved by Craig Filar, Associate Dean of Undergraduate Studies, for distribution to faculty and staff.
The University Honors Program invites doctoral candidates from all programs to apply for the Honors Graduate Teaching Fellowship. Through this Fellowship, the University Honors Program seeks to build on the university’s status as a preeminent research institution to provide novel academic experiences for our undergraduate students while also providing doctoral candidates with valuable professional experience.
In selecting Fellows, we are seeking doctoral candidates who are passionate about teaching and are on track to complete all coursework requirements for their doctoral program prior to the Fall 2027 semester. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to design and teach a unique, interdisciplinary Honors Discovery Course under the mentorship of Honors faculty. Honors Discovery Courses serve as a bridge between the interdisciplinary themes of the Honors Program and the more focused academic work of a major. These courses encourage students to think across disciplines, enrich student intellectual experiences, and create the next generation of innovative thinkers. Mentorship and course design will take place in Spring 2027 with the courses offered in Fall 2027.
More information about the Fellowship including eligibility, departmental and candidate compensation, and the application and selection process can be found here. There are no limits to how many applications can be received from any department, but departments may opt to implement their own pre-application process. For full consideration, candidates must complete the application form by midnight on October 1st, 2026. Finalist interviews will take place in late October.
Questions about any aspect of the Honors Graduate Teaching Fellowship can be addressed to Dr. Michael Furman (mfurman@fsu.edu) Associate Director of the University Honors Program.
