<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Beginning November 4, 2021 there will be a change in the way you receive fellowship awards and how you accept them. If you are awarded a fellowship, you will be notified through OnBase, the document management
system used by the Graduate Division. Please be sure to review these emails and accept or decline your awards in a timely manner. We know this is a new process for you and have prepared a helpful
