Funding - SREB-State Doctoral Scholars Program

Great opportunity for eligible participants!  http://www.sreb.org/page/1074/doctoral_scholars.html

Eligibility per the SREB website follows:

If you:
  • are a Ph.D. candidate. Scholars are ineligible in all other doctoral degree programs, including D.B.A., D.D.S., D.N.P., D.P.T., D.V.M., Ed.D., J.D., M.D., Pharm.D., etc.
  • are within the first year of the Ph.D. program or are expecting admission before the
    academic year begins. (required for the Doctoral Award)
  • have completed all course work and comprehensive/preliminary exams and have defended the prospectus successfully before the academic year begins. (required for the Dissertation Award)
  • are a U.S. citizen or have legal permanent resident status.
  • are a member of a racial or ethnic minority (including African-American, Asian American, Hispanic/Latin American, Native American or others).
  • hold or are scheduled to receive a bachelor's or master's degree from a regionally accredited college or university by the beginning of the fall semester. The program particularly encourages applicants who seek Ph.D.s in the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering and math), which have particularly low minority representation.
  • are accepted into or enrolled in a full-time, campus-based Ph.D. program (not online or distance learning) at a participating institution in a participating state by August, the start of the academic year.
  • are not employed outside your department or discipline.
  • plan to become a full-time college or university faculty member after earning your Ph.D.
NOTE:
  • Applicants attending or enrolling in institutions in GA, MD, MS, SC, TN or VA must submit verification of in-state residency from the university. This is not the same as "in-state tuition status" granted to some out-of-state scholars.
  • Recipients who are residents of AL, AR, KY and WV, in rare instances, are funded by these states to attend out-of-state universities.
