Applications will be sought in mid-November for KCP Future Faculty Fellowships, a program funded by the State of Michigan. The purpose of the King-Chávez-Parks Future Faculty Fellowship Program is to increase the pool of academically and economically disadvantaged candidates pursuing faculty teaching careers in post-secondary education. Funding may begin in spring 2022, pending timely opening of the portal by the State.
Prospective applicants should complete the following steps before the portal reopens:
- Complete our intent to apply form – only people who register on the form will receive reminders to apply when the portal is opened
- Review the eligibility criteria to ensure eligibility (see step 1)
- Gather the materials needed for an application (see step 2)
- Create an account on the MiLogin for Citizens portal (see step 3)
Once the portal opens in mid-November, applicants will have approximately 1-2 weeks to submit their application (step 4). The time to submit for spring funding will be short so that we can complete the review process in time to award funding for spring 2022.
KCP fellowships provide students up to $20,000 (MS students) or $35,000 (PhD students) to pursue their degrees. Funds may be used to support students, including faculty and staff, pursuing degrees at Michigan Tech. For Michigan Tech students, the Graduate School and nominating department must also contribute matching funds to help support the student.
Complete information about eligibility criteria and materials needed for an application is available on our web page. Please note that applications will be submitted through the MILogin Citizens Portal. Questions about eligibility or the application procedure can be directed to Dr. Debra Charlesworth.
