Through the generosity of the Ottis Green Foundation, The Graduate School offers two to three competitive fellowships for students in the humanities or social sciences. This one-year fellowship provides an annual stipend (equivalent to the Graduate School-recommended Arts and Sciences nine-month stipend established each year), as well as tuition and mandatory fees. In addition, The Graduate School will pay the health insurance premium for recipients who enroll in the Duke Student Medical Insurance Plan.

Ottis Green established his foundation in 1951 to further serve the public interest and welfare by contributing to the development of talented, industrious teachers and educators, particularly in the fields of history, economics, social sciences, and religion. Although this fellowship is open to all Ph.D. students studying in humanities or social sciences, preference will be given to students working in one of the stated disciplines, and who have demonstrated their commitment to preparing themselves for careers of teaching and education by participating in the Preparing Future Faculty or Certificate in College Teaching programs.
