The AAA offers the AAA Minority Dissertation Fellowship, worth $10,000, to doctoral students in the field who are in the process of writing their dissertation and whose dissertation proposals already have been approved by their respective committees. Interested parties must hold membership in the Association at least one month prior to application. The award targets members of "an historically underrepresented ethnic group," such as African Americans, Alaskan Natives, American Indians or Native Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, Chicanos, and Pacific Islanders. Applicants must demonstrate their ability to successfully complete their writing and financial need for the fellowship in order to qualify.
The Consortium offers minority fellowships to encourage the participation of traditionally underrepresented groups in the fields of engineering and science. They offer three fellowship programs: the Master of Science Engineering Fellowship Program, the Ph.D. Engineering Fellowship Program and the Ph.D. Science Fellowship Program. Students must be enrolled in or admitted to a GEM member university in order to qualify. The terms vary depending on the fellowship, but generally the programs fund stipends, tuition and fees and a summer internship with a GEM employer member.
The Association's Minority Fellowship Program (MFP) has supported over 1,400 researchers and trainees in psychology and neuroscience since its inception in 1974. The program targets doctoral level ethnic minority students pursuing research and further study in mental health and substance abuse, with the understanding that these students' unique backgrounds will allow them to make important contributions to understanding the mental health needs of minority communities and individuals.
