The American Association of Family & Consumer Sciences (AAFCS) awards graduate fellowships to individuals who have exhibited the potential to make contributions to the family and consumer sciences profession. The Myrna Crabtree National Fellowship will be awarded to students who must be a current AAFCS member at the time of submission. The applicant must be planning to pursue or is currently pursuing a graduate degree in family and consumer sciences or related specialized programs. The applicant must have applied for admission to begin graduate study, or has been admitted to a graduate program or will be enrolled for the upcoming academic year. Preference will be given to the applicants who will have completed (at the beginning of the academic year for which the fellowship would be granted) at least one year of professional family and consumer sciences experience, serving in a professional role or in positions such as a graduate/undergraduate assistant, trainee, or intern; are working on a research problem or can describe a potential research problem for his or her graduate work; or are interested in contributing to the family and consumer sciences profession in the United States, his or her home country, or in international programs. Former recipients may apply for another year of fellowship funding if they meet the criteria, but former recipients are not guaranteed another fellowship.
