Saul and Adelaide Goldfarb Scholarships

The Saul and Adelaide Goldfarb Doctoral Fellowship is awarded on an periodic basis to qualified doctoral students at Montclair State University who have not previously earned a doctoral degree.  To be eligible, students must be fully matriculated in a doctoral program and must have an approved dissertation proposal.  The Fellowship will provide a one-time $10,000 award to the recipient. 

The award will be paid to the student in biweekly installments for the year of the award.  In order to maintain the award, the student must show continual progress toward completion of the dissertation.  To that end, the student receiving the award will be required to submit a progress report regarding the dissertation on April 30, August 31, and December 31 to The Graduate School.  Each progress report shall be accompanied by a letter of support from the student’s dissertation advisor confirming the progress.

If it is determined that a student is not making satisfactory progress with the dissertation, the Fellowship award may be in jeopardy.  If the student completes the dissertation and earns the doctoral degree prior to the end of the award year, the student will be paid the balance of the award at that time.
