ARCS Scholars
The ARCS Scholar Award recognizes outstanding students who have a record of past achievement and who show exceptional promise of making a significant contribution to the scientific and technological strength of the nation. Each year, the Northern California Chapter of the ARCS Foundation allocates an award to Stanford, which we use to support as many PhD students as we can. The candidates selected must:
- Be citizens of the United States, without regard to race, gender, or religion
- Be enrolled full-time in the natural sciences, mathematics, or engineering (see list of departments below)
- Have a grade point average of 3.5 or higher
- Have a proven need for financial assistance to complete the educational program in progress
School Deans select the candidates from eligible departments: Aeronautics & Astronautics, Applied Physics, Biological Sciences, Bioengineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Energy Resources Engineering, Environmental Earth System Science, Geological & Environmental Sciences, Geophysics, Management Science and Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering, and Physics.
Each Dean determines their own selection process for ARCS Scholarships. Please contact the representative from the School Dean's Office for more information. When advisor and student are in different schools, use procedures determined by the Dean's Office of the student's degree department.

Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity Graduate Fellowships (CCSRE-GF)
NOMINATION DEADLINE: March 1, 2012
See additional information and 2012 nomination Information.
CCSRE Graduate Fellowships are for new doctoral students interested in the study of the meanings, processes, and consequences of race, ethnicity, and culture. CCSRE-GFs are three-year awards for outstanding doctoral students newly admitted by a department or program. Prospective Fellows are nominated by the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity (CCSRE) Affiliated Faculty during the admissions season. The fellowship provides the opportunity to meet on a regular basis with the faculty members, scholars, undergraduates, and graduate students who comprise the interdisciplinary community at CCSRE. The first fellowships were awarded for the 2008-09 academic year.
Nominees must be:
- interested in pursuing research projects on how race, ethnicity, and culture shape society and individual experience;
- outstanding applicants newly admitted by a department or program that offers doctoral degrees;
- matriculating in Autumn 2012-13.
Awards will be approved by the Graduate Fellowships Faculty Advisory Committee (GFFAC), a University-wide faculty committee that reviews VPGE-Administered Stanford fellowships. GFFAC decisions will be made in mid-March. Offers of the CCSRE-GF to recipients will be coordinated between CCSRE, VPGE, and the admitting department shortly thereafter. For 2012, two awards are expected.
Further information about CCSRE-GFs is available from Heidi López, Fellowships Coordinator at [email protected] or (650) 725-9141.
Gerald J. Lieberman Fellows
Gerald J. Lieberman fellowships are for doctoral students in the later stages of their programs. Nine are awarded every year: one each in the schools of education, earth sciences, medicine, and engineering; law and business alternate nominating years; and the school of humanities and sciences awards three.
The award honors Gerald J. Lieberman, who served Stanford as provost or acting provost during the tenures of three Stanford presidents. Lieberman was vice provost and dean of graduate studies and research from 1977-1985. In 1985 he was presented the Kenneth M. Cuthbertson Award for exceptional service to Stanford. He was cited for, among other accomplishments, his "tireless efforts on behalf of Stanford's graduate students." He joined the Stanford faculty in 1953 in statistics and industrial engineering. At the time of his death, in 1999, he was professor emeritus of operations research and statistics.
Nominations are for doctoral students whose personal and professional traits resemble Lieberman’s. Through their research accomplishments, teaching, and university service, awardees must have demonstrated the potential for becoming academic leaders.
Please contact the representative from the School Dean's Office for more information. When advisor and student are in different schools, use procedures determined by the Dean's Office of the student's degree department.
