Ford Fellows Fund established to increase minority participation in Ph.D. program

by Gwendolyn Glenn , July 11, 2007

Categories:

As to the future of the Ford Fellows Fund, Akridge hopes it will attract more corporate sponsors so that they can increase the number of fellowships added to the program each year as a result of the Ford Fellows Fund. He hopes former fellows who are working for a corporation and not in a university setting, will get their employers to donate to the fund and he encourages former Ford Fellow recipients to become more involved in the necessary daily work of the effort.

To contact the Ford Fellows Fund, write to: National Academy of Science, c/o National Research Council, 2101 Constitution Avenue, NW, TJ2047, Washington, D.C., 20418; or call 202-334-2861 or 202-515-5016. The e-mail address is: Akridge@US.com
