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 have traditionally been awarded to graduate and post-graduate students, but there are an increasing number of fellowships available to recent college graduates in public policy, the arts, education, and other nonprofit fields.
