I hope you will make a point of becoming acquainted with and
encouraging these fellows.

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 Chancellor's awards provide a stipend, health
insurance, and research and travel expenses. Funding for the
President's Fellowships is provided by the Office of the President
and for the Chancellor's Fellowships by the chancellor and VCAA. The
administration of both programs is coordinated by Vice Chancellor
Attiyeh's office.

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 may be obtained from Greg Llacer in the Office of
Graduate Studies and Research (x43556, gllacer@ucsd.edu), or from the
President's Fellowship Program, Office of the President, University of
California, 300 Lakeside Drive, Oakland, CA 94612-3550; attention:
Jane Gonzalez, coordinator. Telephone: (510) 987-9503. The deadline
for submission of applications is DECEMBER 1, 1995.

If you would like further information about the President's or
Chancellor's Fellowship Program, you may communicate with Vice
Chancellor Attiyeh (46654, rattiyeh@ucsd.edu); Associate Chancellor Nolan
Penn (40195, npenn@ucsd.edu), or Robin Rose (46655, rrose@ucsd.edu).
