As of September 8, 2020, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will be accepting applications for the 2021 Ford Foundation Fellowship Programs.   Through this program of fellowships, the Ford Foundation seeks to increase the diversity of the nation’s college and university faculties by increasing their ethnic and racial diversity, maximize the educational benefits of diversity, and increase the number of professors who can and will use diversity as a resource for enriching the education of all students.

Ford Foundation fellowships applications are due by December 17th for predoctoral (can be an undergraduate or in graduate school) and by December 10th for dissertation completion and postdoctoral fellowships.
