Purpose: The Ford Foundation Diversity
Fellowships Program (formerly Pre-doctoral
Fellowships for Minorities Program) aims to increase the
presence of underrepresented minorities on the nation's
college and university faculties by offering
pre-doctoral
fellowships to members of the six minority groups most
severely underrepresented in U.S. academia. The goal is
to help outstanding students achieve their full
potential as scholars and subsequently inspire others to
follow academic careers in teaching and research.
Programs Funded: The program supports up to three
years of advanced study leading to Ph.D. or Sc.D.
degrees at any U.S. accredited institution in the following
fields: behavioral and social sciences, humanities,
engineering, mathematics, physical sciences and biological
sciences, and for interdisciplinary programs comprised of
two or more eligible disciplines. Awards are not made for
work leading to terminal master's degrees, doctorates in
education or fine arts, or professional degrees in fields
such as education, medicine, law, social work, performing
arts, or business. There is an annual stipend and an award
to the institution in lieu of tuition and fees:
Eligibility:
The program invites applications
from seniors and currently enrolled graduate students
who are citizens or nationals of the U.S. and members of
the following minority groups: Alaskan Native (Eskimo or
Aleut), American Indian, African American, Mexican
American/Chicano, Native Pacific Islander (Polynesian or
Micronesian), and Puerto Rican.
Monetary Award/Benefits/Tenure: The Pre-doctoral
Fellowship carries an annual stipend of $17,000 and, for
each fellowship institution, a cost-of-education
allowance of $6,000 in lieu of tuition and
fees. Support is typically granted for three years, with
second- and third-year renewals contingent on
certification of satisfactory academic progress.
Selection Criteria:
Winners
have demonstrated superior scholarship and great promise
for future achievement as scholars, researchers, and
teachers in institutions of higher education.
Application Process: The Ford Foundation Fellowship
Program is administered by the National Research Council.
Applications are due in early-mid November, and additional
materials in very early December. GRE General Test scores
are required; the test should be taken no later than
December.
