The Graduate School and the Provost's Office are pleased to announce that they will make awards available for outstanding graduate students to apply for the Multicultural Scholars Program (MSP).
The MSP was established between The Graduate School and the Provost's Office for the promotion of diversity within graduate education. This program functions to promote the recruitment of diverse populations of graduate students by matching the funding support provided by the schools, departments, or fields of study.
The MSP consists of an annual service-free fellowship, equivalent to a half-time graduate assistantship during the academic year and $2,000 in summer support for up to five years. The host program or department provides a half-time assistantship during the tenure of the Multicultural Scholars Award.
Master and Doctoral students are eligible and students from diverse background and/or are underrepresented in their fields of study are strong candidates.
