Louisiana State University--Huel D. Perkins Doctoral Fellowship Program

The Huel D. Perkins Doctoral Fellowships are available to qualified
African-American doctoral students. Recognition awards are also
available to enrolled LSU doctoral students.

Evaluation and selection is based upon the applicant's academic 
record, the recommendations of former teachers, and a brief 
statement of professional intentions. Strong preference will be given
to Louisiana residents.

Eligibility: The fellowships are open to qualified African-American
    doctoral students. Fellows will be chosen from applicants
    demonstrating extraordinary potential for success in a doctoral 
    program. Candidates holding a bachelor's or master's degree and 
    who intend to pursue a doctoral program at LSU will be eligible 
    for consideration.

Stipend: A stipend of $14,000 per year for three years. A fourth year 
    of funding will be provided if the Fellow passes the general
    examination and has submitted an approval dissertation topic by 
    the end of the third year. 

Deadline: February 15th
