2011 Recipients of VPGE-Administered Fellowships
The Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Education is pleased to announce the 2011 recipients of five VPGE-administered university-wide doctoral fellowship programs supported by endowment and general funds. Each Fellow will receive tuition support and an annual stipend of $34,200. The programs provide one, two, or three year awards. Total direct funding to graduate students from VPGE will exceed $29 million for the 2011-12 year.
The Fellowships are designed to attract the most talented students to study at Stanford, as well as to honor and support our most outstanding current doctoral students. Each program has a distinct focus. The selection process varies across programs, but all are very competitive and involve several levels of faculty review.On this page:
Diversifying Academia, Recruiting Excellence (DARE) Doctoral Fellowship
The DARE Doctoral Fellowship Program awards two-year fellowships to advanced doctoral students who want to investigate and prepare for academic careers and whose presence will help diversify the professoriate. The DARE program aims to better prepare Stanford doctoral students from diverse backgrounds for successful faculty careers, and to contribute to the richness of Stanford’s educational environment. With additional support from Dean Richard Saller and Dean James Plummer, the 2011 DARE fellowships are awarded to 18 outstanding Stanford doctoral students. This is the fourth cohort of DARE Fellows.
