OBJECTIVES: The McKnight Doctoral Fellowship program is
designed<br>
to address the under-representation of African American and Hispanic<br>
faculty at colleges and universities in the state of Florida by<br>
increasing the pool of citizens qualified with Ph.D. degrees to
teach<br>
at the college and university levels. As a by-product, it is
expected<br>
that employment opportunities in industry will also be expanded.<br>
Eligible fields of study include any field in the Arts and<br>
Sciences, Business, Engineering, Health Sciences, Nursing, or the<br>
Visual and Performing Arts. Fellowships are especially encouraged
in,<br>
but not limited to, the following disciplines: Agriculture, Biology,<br>
Business Administration, Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering,<br>
Marine Biology, Mathematics, Physics, and, Psychology. <br><br>
ELIGIBILITY<br>
Applicants must be African American or Hispanic, U.S. citizens,
and<br>
hold a minimum of a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited<br>
college or university. Since this program is intended to increase<br>
enrollment in Ph.D. programs, currently enrolled doctoral students
are<br>
not eligible to apply. The Fellowships must be used at one of<br>
the participating Florida universities previously indicated and will<br>
be awarded only to those eligible individuals who have been accepted<br>
for graduate study at one of the participating universities. A list
of<br>
participating Florida universities follows: Florida Agricultural and<br>
Mechanical University, Florida Atlantic University, Florida
Institute<br>
of Technology, Florida International University, Florida State<br>
University, University of Central Florida, University of Florida,<br>
University of Miami, or, University of South Florida. <br><br>
FUNDING<br>
Up to 50 Fellowships are awarded annually to study at one of
the<br>
nine participating Florida universities. Each award provides annual<br>
tuition up to $5,000 (tuition above this amount is waived by the<br>
participating institution) for each of three academic years plus an<br>
annual stipend of $12,000. (An additional two years of support at
this<br>
same level is provided by the participating institution.) (cam)
