Sloan Fellowship opportunity through ANSEP for graduate students:This program gives $33,000 fellowship to Native American (Alaska Native, American Indian, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander-they have to have documentation) who are pursuing MS or PhDs in hard science degree programs at UAA and UAF. Hard sciences refers to sciences that utilize calculus, so psychology does not qualify. Also, students do not need to be full-time students to participate in this opportunity. Students who get accepted to Sloan can also qualify for other supports through ANSEP (conference, supplies, etc.). Students can be accepted into the fellowship at a prorated basis (so if they have completed a semester of their MS they'd only get 3/4 of the fellowship, etc.). See information to contact the PI's about being accepted to this wonderful opportunity. |
