MAGNET FELLOWSHIPS and DEAN HARRISON AWARDS

The Graduate Center offers special MAGNET Fellowships that incoming students may be eligible for. The Executive Officer nominates students for this award. There are not many of these fellowships and they are very competitive.

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.

Those nominated for the MAGNET (if they do not receive it) are eiligible for the Dean Harrison Awards, which usually cover only tuition or part of tuition. If you have any questions about these awards, you may go to the Office of Equal Opportunity and Diversity Programs website or contact Alida Rojas at 212-817-7540.
