About KCP Future Faculty Fellowship Program

The Graduate School, with the support of the King-Chavez-Parks Initiative of the Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Growth, Office of Postsecondary Services, sponsors one competition annually for King-Chavez-Parks Future Faculty Fellowships. The KCP Fellowship provides an annual stipend from one to three years, up to a maximum of $35,000 over a three year period. The Fellowship may be used to supplement other awards. The purpose of the Fellowship is to assist students in doctoral programs who intend to pursue full-time teaching positions in postsecondary institutions within one year of receiving their doctoral degrees at Wayne State University. Applications are encouraged from minorities, women, persons with disabilities and individuals from cultural, linguistic, geographic, and socio-economic backgrounds who would otherwise not adequately be represented in the graduate student and faculty populations. Eligible applicants must also be United States citizens or permanent residents and Michigan residents as defined by the University. Additional information and applications are available from the Scholarships and Fellowships Office of the Graduate School. Students pursuing the PharmD, J.D. or M.D. degrees should consult the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Law School or School of Medicine concerning financial assistance.
