Each February the Jefferson Scholars Foundation conducts an annual search for the most outstanding doctoral candidates in the nation and around the world.

The two criteria for the Jefferson Scholars Graduate Fellowship are exceptional potential in the area of scholarship and a passion for sharing ideas with others. The Jefferson Fellowship is a merit-based award that sustains its recipients for five years of graduate study at the University of Virginia. The terms of the fellowship are generous, and include tuition, fees, a stipend of at least $18,000 ($25,000 in Chemistry, Biology, and Physics), and a research grant of $3,000 that Fellows may use throught their course of study. Each year the fellowships are in selected disciplines.
