A typical teaching fellowship package from the Mathematics Department includes a stipend of $12,000 plus a $2,000 supplementary fellowship for the academic year. The teaching load is two three-credit courses (normally, two sections of the same three-hour course, or one section of a five-hour College Algebra course). In addition to the stipend, the University will pay the university’s fees for all academic work, and out-of-state tuition will be waived, as long as the student is not on probation.
The Department has a number of Research Fellowships that carry a stipend of $12,500 to $14,000 per year and require no teaching or teaching one three credit course. These fellowships are awarded to incoming graduate students and are nonrenewable beyond one or two years.
These fellowships carry stipends from $1,000 to $8,000 per year. They require no teaching, and can be combined with other fellowships from the department.
The University of Missouri offers three competitive fellowships: The G. Ellsworth Huggins Scholarship, the William Gregory Fellowship, and the Chancellor’s Gus T. Ridgel Fellowship.
The Huggins Scholarship provides a $10,000 stipend for one year. It is renewable for three additional years for students who make satisfactory progress. A Huggins Scholar also receives a teaching or research assistantship with a stipend of $5,000 to $10,000 per year.
The Gregory Fellowship provides a $5,000 stipend for one year, and it is nonrenewable. A Gregory Scholar also receives a teaching or research assistantship with a stipend of $5,000 per year.
The Ridgel Fellowship provides a $10,000 stipend per year and is renewable for one additional year for master’s students and three additional years for doctoral students. The qualified applicant is a U.S. citizen who is black/African American, Mexican American, Puerto Rican or Native American/Alaskan Native American.
In the past, nominees from the Mathematics Department have been very successful at obtaining these fellowships. Further information can be obtained from the University of Missouri Graduate School, or from the Mathematics Department. Normally, an additional $2,000 per year Research Fellowship supplements this stipend.
The University reserves the right to modify by increase or decrease the fees charged for attendance and other services at the University, including but not limited to educational fees, at any time when in the discretion of the governing board the same is in the best interest of the University, provided that no increases can or will be effective unless approved by the governing board not less than thirty (30) days prior to the beginning of the academic term (semester, etc.) to which the fees are applicable and such increase does not exceed ten (10) percent over the fee level existing immediately prior to the increase, with all modification of fees to be effective irrespective as to whether fees have or have not been paid by or on behalf of a student prior to the effective date of the modification.
