They are paid to students through the Office of Student Financial Assistance, based on instructions provided by the College of Graduate Studies.

For more information, see <a href=\"https://graduate.ucf.edu/fellowships/\" target=\"_blank\">UCF Graduate Fellowships</a>, which includes descriptions of university fellowships and what you should do to be considered for a fellowship.</p> <p><strong>Grad Fellowships</strong><br />Telephone: 407-823-0127<br /><a href=\"mailto:gradfellowship@ucf.edu\">gradfellowship@ucf.edu</a><br /><a href=\"https://funding.graduate.ucf.edu/\" target=\"_blank\">Website</a></p><div> <p>Most students complete the nonthesis option so that they can focus more on coursework related to specific aspects of TESOL, pedagogy, or education. The thesis option is appropriate for those students wishing to research current issues in the discipline or pursue a doctoral program in TESOL or related language field. By the end of the second semester, students wishing to pursue the thesis option should speak with the program director to seek approval and a recommendation for a thesis committee chairperson.</p> <p>Our courses are focused on theory into practice and, therefore, often have a service-learning, practical, or applied project as an integral part of the curriculum. The <a href=\"#/courses/ryknZb_i_?bc=true&bcCurrent=Research%20in%20Second%20Language&bcGroup=TSL&bcItemType=Courses\">TSL 6640 - Research in Second Language</a> is required and should be taken in the first semester of study.

This examination is normally taken in the last semester of graduate work and will be reviewed by members of the TESOL Graduate Committee. A student may take the comprehensive examination only twice, and a second examination will not be given in the same semester in which the first attempt occurred.</p> </div>",
