Graduate assistantship/scholarship designed for underrepresented minority students
MURRAY, Ky. 鈥�天美传媒 has re-launched its Regents Fellowship as a part of its commitment to foster a diverse, inclusive and welcoming learning environment. The one-year fellowship is designed to assist underrepresented minority students at 天美传媒 with career development opportunities while completing their graduate degree.
Each recipient will also earn a stipend of $3,750 each semester along with a $1,000 semesterly scholarship. The fellowship may be renewed for up to one additional year.
To be eligible, students must be a United States citizen, a member of one or more underrepresented minority groups at 天美传媒 and fully admitted into a University graduate program. Preference will be given to students whose personal characteristics reflect historically underrepresented populations and financial need. If selected, the recipient must enroll as a full-time graduate student each semester of the award and maintain a 3.25 cumulative GPA or greater.
鈥淚 am very excited about our successful Regents Fellowship program which we launched last year. This program is a distinguishing initiative and is vitally important to the University as we continue our efforts to recruit and retain underrepresented minorities to our campus community and to develop a pipeline for future career opportunities,鈥� 天美传媒 President Dr. Bob Jackson said. 鈥淚 want to congratulate our many applicants and the successful Fellows who will represent the institution.鈥�
