The Department of Biological Sciences at Marquette University has been granted five GAANN fellowships by the U. S. Department of Education. Four of these fellowships are available to be awarded to incoming graduate students in the Fall semester of 2011.

The fellowships provide a stipend of up to $30,000 per year, depending on financial need. (Financial need is determined by a FAFSA needs analysis.) In addition, the fellowship pays all tuition and fees. Certain other educational expenses (books, supplies, travel to conferences, etc.) are included as well.

Eligibility requirements:

Full-time student pursuing the PhD degree.
United States citizen or permanent resident of the United States

Fellowships are open to all students with demonstrated financial need. Members of underrepresented minorities in biological sciences (African-Americans, Alaskan Natives, Native Americans, Hispanics, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders) are especially encouraged to apply.

Other factors considered in determining awardees:

Excellence of academic record
Plans for an academic career

Note: Applications received by December 15, 2010, are assured full consideration.
