PAE-9: Support Programs for Future Faculty

Leslie N. Wilson - Delores Auzenne Assistantship for Minorities - available for all new or currently enrolled minority graduate students. Nomination is through the department or college, but competition for these awards is on a university-wide basis. McKnight Doctoral Fellowships provide up to five years of support, with a stipend of $12,000 plus tuition waivers and other support for four years and with the fifth year support at a rate that is typical in the student's academic program. These fellowships are for newly enrolling African American and Hispanic graduate students. FAMU Feeder Fellowship - FSU’s Graduate School has partnered with the Graduate Feeders Scholars program at Florida A&M University to provide under-represented students the opportunity to pursue graduate degrees. College Teaching Fellowships - awarded annually by the University to new graduate students. While these awards are administered by The Graduate School, the Fellows are selected through competitions held by each college. To be eligible for the College Teaching Fellowship, the student must have scored at least an 1150 on the GRE; maintained at least a 3.2 GPA during the course of undergraduate studies; maintained at least a 3.5 GPA during the course of any previous graduate level studies; and have been strongly recommended by former professors. Additionally, the Office of Undergraduate Research hosts a list of available awards, scholarships, and grants that support student research activities and further graduate studies.
