Minority Scholar-in-Residence Program Dissertation and Postdoctoral Fellowships, Various Institutions|
The Minority Scholar-in-Residence Program grows out of the conviction that a strong representation of minority scholars on the faculties of liberal arts colleges is essential. The presence of African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, and Native American scholars has a twofold effect: First, it provides greater diversity of experience and perspective within the faculty and in the curriculum; and second, minority scholars provide necessary role models, especially for minority students. Applications are invited in all disciplines of the liberal arts and engineering. Recipients must be citizens of the United States and should have no more than five years of teaching or relevant experience before holding a fellowship. Two types of fellowship awards are available under this program. The Dissertation Fellowship is intended for scholars in the final stage of their dissertations and aims, above all, to help the fellow complete the final requirements for the degree during the year of residency. The Postdoctoral Fellowship is intended for scholars who have been awarded the Ph.D. or M.F.A. no later than the beginning of the fellowship year and within the past five years. http://www.grinnell.edu/offices/dean/csmp/theprogram
