We warmly invite you to apply for the Doctoral Mentorship Pathway Program for 2023-24
This program is designed to create a pathway for historically underrepresented and marginalized education scholars and practitioners who are considering doctoral studies in Fall 2024. We hope to use this program to make the sometimes mystifying process of applying to a PhD program more visible, to provide an opportunity for you to get to know our students and faculty, and participate in sessions where we’ll talk about how to apply and what the realities are for students of color studying in a predominantly white research institution. Some highlights of this mentorship pathway include:
- A faculty mentor to work with throughout the doctoral application and selection process
- A current student mentor
- A waived $60 application fee for Fall 2024 applications
- Online seminars and information sessions throughout the academic year related to applying to graduate school, navigating life and scholarship at a primarily white institution (PWI), preparing for finalist weekends and interviews, and how to select the right advisor and program
- Support with application preparation, including advice regarding statements of purpose and letters of reference.
- Community-building with other selected scholars and current graduate students
