The Doctoral Award offers three years of direct program support ($20,000 annual stipend) and two years of institutional support from the scholar’s college, university and/or department.

The Dissertation Award offers a one-year, $20,000 stipend, university-covered tuition and fees (unless the institution prohibits a fee waiver), a $500 research allowance and professional development support.

General information

Individual Universities
Institutions that fund SREB scholars

Universities in and outside the SREB region may choose to support scholars in the Doctoral Scholars Program. Institutional award selections are determined at the university level — not by SREB. If your institution partners with the Doctoral Scholars Program and you are interested in being a funded doctoral or dissertation scholar, additional information will be available in early March.

If your institution is not listed here, visit our Become An Institutional Partner page to learn how individual universities may participate.
