Description:
The Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) awards five CIC/GE
Predoctoral Fellowships in the Sciences and Engineering to underrepresented
minorities each year. The CIC/GE Predoctoral Fellowship Program
provides a stipend of $15,000, full tuition, and all standard
fees for the first academic year of graduate work toward the Ph.D.
The CIC university attended by each Fellow will provide funding
for at least three additional years if the Fellow makes normal
degree progress. Institutional support from CIC universities may
be in the form of other fellowship awards or teaching and/or research
assistantships which will serve to more fully integrate the Fellows
into their academic departments. Students are nominated for the
CIC/GE Fellowship by the institution.
