MAGNET FELLOWSHIPS and DEAN HARRISON AWARDS

The Graduate Center offers special MAGNET Fellowships that new students may be eligible for. There are not many of these fellowships and they are very competitive. We must send in our nominations before February 15.

The same criteria apply for Dean Harrison Awards, which usually cover only tuition or part of tuition. These awards are made at the time you are admitted to the program, or after, by special application to the Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity Programs (room 8306, phone: 212-817-7540), with our endorsement. These awards are not as highly competitive as the MAGNET fellowships.

MAGNET Candidates must be:

1. African American or Latino (Puerto-Rican, Caribbean, other non-European Hispanics);
   
   
2. U.S. citizens or permanent residents;
   
   
3. Admitted as full-time students to your doctoral program for Fall 2001.

If you apply for a MAGNET fellowship, you will automatically be considered for a Dean Harrison Award if you do not get the MAGNET. If you only wish to be considered for the Dean Harrison Award, let us know and apply separately at the same time you send in your Application for admission.
