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

The fellows, who are all U.S. citizens, 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 the
senior vice chancellor-academic affairs. The administration of both programs
is coordinated by Acting Vice Chancellor of Research David Sworder's office.

To apply for both awards, candidates should apply to the University of
California President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. Applicants for
the President's Fellowship who designate a UCSD faculty member as their
mentor will automatically be considered for the UCSD 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, 1996.

If you would like further information about the President's or Chancellor's
Fellowship Program, you may communicate with Acting Vice Chancellor Sworder
(46654, sworderd@ucsd.edu), Associate Chancellor Nolan Penn (40195, npenn@ucsd.edu),
