Colorado PEAKS Alliance for Graduate
Education and the Professoriate Program
Colorado State University
The Alliance for Graduate Education and the
Professoriate Program is designed to recruit
and retain under-represented graduate students
as future faculty members in higher education institutions
in science, engineering, and mathematics. This program
offers funding for fellowships leading to the doctoral
degree, with training for preparation to enter the professoriate.
This program will allow for the recruitment, retention
and graduation up to 50 doctoral students over the next
five to ten years. A fellowship recipient will receive
$6,000 total. (This award is for the first year only;
the departments guarantee long-term support for students
making good progress toward the Ph.D. degree.) These
fellowships will consist of a $2,500 diversity fellowship
during the academic year and a $3,500 research award
to support summer research. Also, two PEAKS fellowships
at $15,000 each plus tuition will be awarded. In addition,
fellowship recipients will, have a quarter-time graduate
assistantship from their home department (about $4,500
each).
Candidates must be enrolled in doctoral programs or
M.S./Ph.D. programs at CSU in order to be eligible for
these fellowships in one of the following CSU disciplines
(in alphabetical order). Click on discipline to visit
its respective program website.
Other opportunities: the AGEP Colorado PEAKS
program provides travel support for PEAKS doctoral
students to attend professional meetings and conferences.
Diversity faculty development activities designed to
enhance relationships with faculty will be conducted.
Visiting underrepresented scholars and scientists will be invited
to the CSU site to interact with the Colorado PEAKS
students and to serve as role models.
