Graduate Diversity Fellowship Program

Pursuant to appropriations contained within the New York State Budget, the State University of New York offers graduate fellowships to students who have been admitted to graduate or professional study and who will contribute to the diversity of the student body in the graduate or professional program in which enrollment is sought.

To be eligible, applicants must be (1) U.S. citizens or have permanent resident status, and (2) must demonstrate how they will contribute to the diversity of the student body in the program for which they are applying, including minorities that have been historically under-represented in higher education, or by having overcome a disadvantage or other impediment to success in higher education.

A maximum $5,000 per academic year may be awarded to a recipient enrolled in at least 6 credit hours per semester. Awards may be used for course work completed during summer or other special sessions at the discretion of the Graduate Studies Office.
