Graduate Program » Recruitment of Underrepresented Minorities

The Integrated Toxicology and Environmental Health program in collaboration with the School of Medicine provides a special fellowship to promote diversity among its graduate students. Diversity Enhancement Fellowships are provided to students who — by reason of their background, culture, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, work, and life experiences — contribute to a fuller representation of perspectives within the academic life of the University. The ITEHP is committed to promoting diversity by encouraging nominations of students who are Black/African American, American Indian/Alaskan Native, and Hispanic/Latino Americans as well as students with disabilities, and from financially or culturally disadvantaged backgrounds. All candidates must be invited to interview and be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. The Fellowship provides a $5,000 stipend supplement each year for the first four years of graduate study. Candidates who are eligible for this award will be vetted internally by the program and the School of Medicine. Candidates can be simultaneously nominated for and accept university-wide fellowships such as the James B. Duke Fellowship.
