Please Note:

  • Kentucky and Maryland only make Dissertation Awards (one year award). The Dissertation Award is for scholars who’ve completed coursework, passed comprehensive exams, and had the dissertation prospectus approved. These states don’t make Doctoral Awards.
  • Louisiana participates in the SREB program, but awards are determined at the university level. Therefore applicants interested in inquiring about eligibility in Louisiana should contact the graduate dean of the university. Louisiana scholars aren’t eligible through this application portal.
  • If your institution is not in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, South Carolina, Virginia, or West Virginia, then you don’t apply here. You can check to see if your institution is already a partner by going to https://www.sreb.org/general-information/individual-universities. If it is listed, contact the graduate dean at your university to find out how to be a part of the SREB program. If your institution isn’t listed, email Tiffany Harrison to find out how you can encourage your institution to partner.
