The fellows who are all U.S. citizens from under-represented groups, were chosen for their potential for becoming faculty members at research universities. Each fellow has a faculty mentor who serves as research advisor and provides career guidance. Both the President's and the Chancellor's awards are for two years and provide a stipend, health insurance, and research and travel expenses. Funding for the Chancellor's Fellowships is provided by the Office of the President. The administration of both programs is coordinated by Vice Chancellor Attiyeh. For the 1995-96 competition, I encourage you to identify promising minority scholars (particularly African-Americans, Mexican-Americans, American Indians, Filipinos, and Puerto Ricans) from anywhere in the United States who will soon complete or have recently completed their Ph.D.'s and urge them to apply for the Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellowships. Applications for the President's Fellowships are encouraged from members of the above minority groups and Asian Americans in all fields from women in physical sciences, mathematics, and engineering. To apply for both awards, candidates should apply to the University of California President's Fellowship Program. All under-represented minority applicants for the President's Fellowship who designate a UCSD faculty member as their mentor will automatically be considered for the Chancellor's Fellowship. Applications my be obtained from Greg Llacer in the Office of Graduate Studies and Research, (43556, GLlacer@UCSD), or from the President's Fellowship Program, Office of the President, University of California, 300 Lakeside Drive, Oakland, CA 94612-3550; telephone 510-987-9500.
