Through its Fellowship Programs, the Ford Foundation seeks to increase the diversity of the nation’s college and university faculties by increasing their ethnic and racial diversity, to maximize the educational benefits of diversity, and to increase the number of professors who can and will use diversity as a resource for enriching the education of all students. Eligibility requirements include:
-
All citizens or nationals of the United States regardless of race, national origin, religion, gender, age, disability, or sexual orientation,
-
Individuals with evidence of superior academic achievement (such as grade point average, class rank, honors or other designations),
-
Individuals committed to a career in teaching and research at the college or university level.
For information regarding level-specific eligibility requirements, stipends, and other program information for each of the three levels of the Fellowship program, please access the fact sheet for the program level of your interest, predoctoral, dissertation or postdoctoral.
