H&S Dean’s Scholars Fellowship

These fellowships support recruitment of outstanding doctoral applicants who have distinguished themselves academically and who will promote and/or contribute to the diversity of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences of their academic fields. Dean’s Scholars receive three years of funding (years 1, 2, and 5) to cover their tuition and stipend, along with opportunities to engage in community-building activities and professional development trainings to enhance their graduate student experience.

Nominations are submitted by the department/program to the Dean’s Office (Graduate and Undergraduate Studies). Students do not apply for these fellowships. In order to be nominated, students must be admitted to the doctoral department/program.

We uphold and advance Stanford's values by maintaining recruitment activities that are accessible and free from discrimination. Learn more about Stanford Values and Commitment to Compliance.
