These fellowships enable minority students to pursue a degree other than a doctoral degree. Awards are made by the Graduate School with the concurrence of major departments and the Graduate School Minority Fellowship Committee. Dissertation Completion Fellowships are available for a limited number of doctoral students finishing their dissertations. A student applies for one of these awards by submitting a dissertation research proposal to her or his major department, which may recommend the student to the Graduate School for this support. Carter G. Woodson Scholars are outstanding minority students enrolled in full-time study in doctoral programs in which minorities are underrepresented.
Support is available only to U.S. citizens.
