Fw: Fellowship and Research Funding Opportunities

SUMMER PRE-DOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

The Texas State 2004-2009 University Strategic Plan calls for an "increasingly diverse student body" by enhancing "the recruitment and retention rates of African-American and Hispanic/Latino faculty". Toward this end, the Summer Predoctoral Fellowship program invites ABD doctoral candidates at other institutions to spend June and July working with colleagues in their field and students on the Texas State campus. Participants may also be considered as potential faculty candidates as appropriate.

The program goals are as follows:

· Create a connection between emerging scholars at other institutions and current research efforts at Texas State

· Support and enhance the campus climate of understanding ethnicity and race

· Link the school and campus to the broader served community

· Increase the number of role models available at Texas State to underrepresented students

· Identify potential faculty candidates

Submit your application and supporting materials by March 7, 2008.
