Financial Assistance for Minority Students
- Programs that provide
funding for U.S. citizens and permanent residents who are ethnic minorities
include the following:
- Academic
Achievement Graduate Assistantships (AAGA). This program
provides financial support for students who are accepted into a master's
or a doctoral degree program and whose enrollment will enhance the diversity
of the student body of the program into which they are admitted. The first-year
assistantship is supported by the AAGA fund, with the student's academic
department/college agreeing to continue funding thereafter in accordance
with unit procedures for evaluating graduate students. Eligible under-represented
graduate students receive quarter-time or half-time assistantships. Students
are recommended for this assistantship through their academic department.
- Education
Opportunity Program (EOP) Fellowship. This fellowship is based
on a needs analysis completed by the Office of Financial Aid, with exact
awards varying (not to exceed $2,000, plus $400 for each dependent, per
semester) for each student, depending on financial need. EOP recipients
must be either racial/ethnic minorities or women receiving public assistance.
Applications are only available between mid-January and mid-March for the next academic year.
- Ford Foundation Fellowships
for Minorities
- Approximately 60
predoctoral and 35 dissertation fellowships are sponsored by the Ford
Foundation and administered by the National Research Council of the National
Academies
- Applicants must be
U.S. citizens who are planning a career in teaching and research at the
college or university level. Applications may be filled out and submitted
on-line.
