The Hindu god Shiva shares several features with the Rudra: the theonym Shiva originated as an epithet of Rudra, the adjective shiva (kind) being used euphemistically of Rudra, who also carries the epithet Aghora, Abhayankar (extremely calm [ sic ] non terrifying).udra requesting Brahma to calm down. Rudra is used both as a name of Shiva and collectively (the Rudras ) as the name for the Maruts. Gavin Flood characterizes the Maruts as storm gods, associated with the atmosphere.
A fellowship provides financial support to graduate students to pursue graduate studies without associated teaching or research responsibilites (as they are in a teaching or research assistantship). Fellowships are generally merit-based internal or external awards to support a student in a full-time course of study. The Graduate School funds a significant number of entering doctoral students with fellowships awarded through their graduate field.
Fellowships are awarded to students to free them from the need for employment. Fellowship awards with less than a $10,000 stipend may be supplemented. Fellowship awards with a minimum of a $10,000 stipend may be supplemented only after approval of the Graduate Dean. It is not unusual for the Dean to approve employment of up to 10 hours a week (25 percent time) during the tenure of an award.
