DARE Doctoral Fellowship

Identity

DARE: Diversifying Academia, Recruiting Excellence

The DARE Doctoral Fellowship Program awards two-year fellowships to advanced Stanford doctoral students who want to investigate and prepare for academic careers and whose presence will help diversify the professoriate.

The DARE Program's objectives are to better prepare students from diverse backgrounds for academic careers and to have them, at the same time, enrich the educational experiences of others. Thus, the program expands the academic “pipeline” in two ways.

Eligibility

Stanford’s commitment to diversity is broadly conceived. It includes, but is not limited to:

Underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities
First-generation college students
Women in fields such as natural science and engineering
Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender students
Students with disabilities
Others whose backgrounds and experiences would diversify the professoriate in their academic fields.
