to graduate or professional study This program is intended to assist in the recruitment, enrollment and retention of students in doctoral and master’s level programs who can demonstrate that they contribute to the diversity of the student body, especially those who can show that they have overcome a disadvantage or other impediment to success in higher education

Students who are U.S citizens or permanent residents, and must contribute to the diversity of the graduate program to which they have been admitted Economic or other disadvantage may be a basis for assessing a student’s contribution to enhancing diversity Membership in a racial/ethnic group that has historically been underrepresented in the graduate or professional program may serve as a plus factor in awarding scholarships Consideration to students who are of a race or ethnicity that is underrepresented in its graduate and professional programs but may not make awards solely on that basis
