Subject: [Grad Advising:6] Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program
To: Graduate Advising <graduate-ad...@sjsu.edu>
Hello All,
We are pleased to announce that the California State University is now accepting applications for the 2017-2018 Chancellor’s Doctoral Incentive Program (CDIP). Please contact graduate students who may be interested in this program and encourage them to apply. The goal of the program is to increase the pool of qualified candidates for future CSU faculty positions by funding the education of doctoral students. Currently, the program is the largest of its kind in the nation.
Applicants in all fields in which CSU campuses employ faculty are eligible regardless of gender or ethnicity. The program gives primary consideration to candidates in fields in which CSU campuses anticipate the greatest difficulty in filling potential future instructional faculty positions. It is open to domestic and international students and to those applying or already attending PhD institutions and some professional doctoral programs. This is a prestigious and generous award program, and San Jose State has been very successful in receiving awards.
The CDIP will lend participants who are full-time doctoral students up to $10,000 annually to a limit of $30,000 over a five-year period. After earning the doctorate, a participant who applies for and is hired in a CSU instructional faculty position will have 20% of the loan forgiven for each year of employment in the CSU. Recipients of the loan may enroll in any approved doctoral program at any accredited university in the US or abroad. Applicants are responsible for obtaining a CSU faculty advisor to assist them through their doctoral studies. Once in a doctoral program, awardees and their CSU mentors become eligible for additional funding for travel to professional conferences through the Chancellor's Mini-Grant program. For a program description and other information, please visit the CSU website at http://www.calstate.edu/hr/cdip/.
The prior years’ eligibility restriction of doctoral students enrolled in CSU Ed.D. programs has been lifted for the 2016-2017 application. However, given that the CSU Ed.D. programs were established for the purpose of preparing administrative leaders for the California public education system (California Education Code 66040.3), applicants pursuing professional doctorates from CSU Ed.D. programs must make a strong case for how their doctoral programs prepare them to be qualified and competitive for CSU faculty positions.
Online application forms are available. Make sure to obtain a Permission to Publish form to be submitted with your application. This form is a campus-specific document that is available only on the Graduate Studies website at http://www.sjsu.edu/gradstudies/docs/Permission_to_Publish.pdf.
