[Poscgrad] Call for GRMP, DYP, & HSI Fellowships

[Marissa Brookes]

Those of you who submitted GRMP or DYP applications online should
remember to also email them directly to me (many thanks to those of you who
already did!). There are few that I can see in the online system that have
not yet been emailed to me, so please do that ASAP.

Thanks,
MB

>>
>>
>> Also, please note Graduate Division's *eligibility criteria* for GRMP

>>
>>
>>
>> *“Must be making acceptable progress for a PhD student: i.e., advanced to
>> candidacy within 15 quarters after entry and must complete the degree by
>> the normative time to degree for the particular program plus 1 year at time
>> of degree.”*
>>
>>
>>
>> *Normative time to degree in our department is six years*.  Therefore,

>> years of enrollment) during their fellowship quarter would not be eligible
>> to apply. Here, it is important to note that each student’s total
>> enrollment may be counted differently if there are enrollment
>> irregularities in their previous history:
>>
>>
>>
>> ·      If a student is enrolled or on filing fee, these quarters counts
>> toward normative time.
>>
>> ·      Students "In absentia" are enrolled, so these quarters count
>> toward normative time.
>>
>> ·      Students on half-time status are enrolled half-time, so these
>> quarters are counted as 0.5 instead of 1.
>>
>> ·      Students on leave, “Ready to Enroll” (RD) status, or Withdrawn
>> are not active—these quarters do not count towards normative time.
>>
>>
>>
>> Before deciding to apply, please calculate your own normative time
>> eligibility correctly, based on the above criteria.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>> *UC-HSI *
>>
>>
>>
>> 2.  In addition to (and separate from) the above, POSC will nominate one
>> student for a new competitive award: the UC-HSI DDI President’s
>> Pre-Professoriate Fellow. This initiative is part of the UC
>> Hispanic-Serving Institutions Doctoral Diversity Initiative.
>> These Pre-Professoriate Fellows need to have received their undergraduate
>> degree from an HSI institution, have advanced to candidacy and must have a
>> demonstrated record of advancing issues of inclusion, equity and diversity.
>>
>>
>>
>> Again, please note that all applications are due *no later than 5:00 PM
>> on January 23. *This is an internal POSC deadline that is *EARLIER* than
>> the one listed online.
