The College of Arts and Letters normally provides full funding for five years of Ph.D. study. Students who complete their degrees within that timeframe are eligible for a postdoctoral teaching fellowship in the sixth year. Dissertation research in Medieval Studies, however, sometimes demands the mastery of several research languages or methodologies that take more time acquire than are possible in the five-year curriculum. The Medieval Institute, therefore, offers two graduate fellowships that will allow Notre Dame Ph.D. students to take a third year of coursework, giving them six years of funding. Assuming they have completed their degrees, they will be eligible for a teaching postdoctoral fellowship in the seventh year. The Duffy Fellowship is open to Ph.D. students at Notre Dame in the Medieval Studies program; the Gabriel Fellowship is open to Ph.D. students at Notre Dame working on Ph.D.s focused on the Middle Ages.
