Delores Auzenne Fellowship for Graduate Study

The Auzenne Fellowship is designed to assist Florida’s State Universities in increasing the enrollment of minority-group students (Black, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaskan Native) who are enrolled in graduate study in disciplines in which there is under-representation of that minority group at UNF.

Under this program, graduate students are nominated to receive awards of $5,000 each ($2,500 per semester; fall/spring or both) for year-long, full-time study.

The deadline for applications for the 2009-10 year is June 8, 2009.

Awards will not be granted to the same Auzenne Fellows for more than two academic years for those in Master's and Professional programs or four academic years for doctoral students.
