Please note that the following fellowship does not require departmental nomination, if interested you should apply directly to the organization. 

The Torske Klubben, founded in 1933, is a Minneapolis luncheon club of men of Norwegian heritage who are deeply interested in Norway and Norwegian-American history and relationships.  The organization funds University of Minnesota graduate fellowships for Norwegian citizens, as well as this award for Minnesota residents who have an interest in or connection with Norway and/or its culture.  The overarching goal of the fellowship program is supporting future leaders.

A stipend of $16,000 for the academic year.  For recipients without another source of tuition support, such as an assistantship, the Graduate School Fellowship Office will provide a Tuition Scholarship for full-time study for the academic year.
