Description

More than one-third of America's college students are people of color. But racial and ethnic minorities make up only small fractions of college faculty. The goal of the SREB-State Doctoral Scholars Program is to change that and have more minority Ph.D. students who seek careers as faculty on college campuses. The Doctoral Scholars Program provides multiple layers of support, not only financial assistance and research funding, but also career counseling, job postings and a scholar directory for networking and recruiting. Mentoring and advocacy for scholars is crucial, and support continues into early careers as graduates become faculty members. Applicants must submit recommendations that should be given by professionals that are familiar with an applicant's work. This can be a past/current employer, adviser, professor, or co-worker. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
