Future Faculty Fellows Program. Sponsored by The University of Alabama for students from minority groups seeking the Ph.D. with the intentions of becoming a college or university professor. This program is based upon departmental nomination. To be eligible for the NAA program, applicants must hold unconditional admission to the Graduate School. Their entrance examination scores should be well above the national norm, and their collegiate grade point averages should indicate a high probability of success in graduate school.
Preference is given to entering graduate students.
Nominations for National Alumni Association Graduate School Scholarships are made by the dean of each academic division, at the request of the Graduate School. The source of the Fellowship is the National Alumni Association's Collegiate License Tag Endowed Graduate Education Fund. The award is based on the students' academic and professional record and potential to make an outstanding contribution during their careers to the lives of the people of the state of Alabama. Nominations for-these fellowships are made by the academic departments in the spring of each year.
