McAlpine (176 AD2d 285, 574 N.Y.S.2d 385 [1991]), the Appellate Division, Second Department, held that only that portion of the husband's fellowship represented by the last five examinations could be treated as marital property since the fellowship, which required the study of mathematics and the successful passage of ten examinations, was largely obtained pre-maritally, and defendant graduated from college and passed five of the examinations before he was married.
