The Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships and The Graduate School invites current, postdoctoral scholars, graduate students and undergraduate seniors applying to Ph.D. programs who are committed to diversity and equality to attend the Ford Foundation Fellowship Workshop on Wednesday, April 9th, from 4-5pm in Whetten 200.
The focus of the workshop is on applying to and winning prestigious Ford Fellowships at the Predoctoral, Dissertation, and Postdoctoral levels.
Join us for an overview of the three competitions and remarks from Dr. Lewis Gordon, Professor of Philosophy and Africana Studies at UConn and former Ford Dissertation Fellowship reviewer.
Predoctoral Fellowships provide three years of support for individuals engaged in graduate study leading to a Ph.D. or Sc.D degree, dissertation fellowships provide one year of support for individuals working to complete a dissertation and postdoctoral fellowships provide one year of support for individuals engaged in postdoctoral study.
Awards are made to individuals who have demonstrated superior academic achievement, are committed to a career in teaching and research at the college or university level, show promise of future achievement as scholars and teachers, and are well prepared to use diversity as a resource for enriching the education of all students.
