The program is a two-year mentorship and undergraduate loan repayment program for minority studentsinterested in college and university teaching. Stanford selects will select five fellows each year from June 2001 to June 2005. Students selected as Fellows will be matched with faculty mentors who will serve as role models and research advisors. Under the mentor's guidance, each Fellow is encouraged to discover an intellectual identity while beginning the process of becoming a scholar and teacher. The earnings replacement and expense fund may be applied in ways which facilitate the student's development as a scholar.
Prior approval is needed from the student's mentor.
