The SREB-State Doctoral Scholars Program provides multiple layers of support — not only financial assistance and research funding, but also career counseling, job postings and a scholar directory for networking and recruiting. Mentoring and advocating on behalf of scholars is crucial, and support continues into early careers as graduates become faculty members. Each fall, a thousand scholars and young faculty members convene to learn and support one another at the Institute on Teaching and Mentoring.

More than 1,280 Graduates and Counting

The goal of the Doctoral Scholars Program is to increase the number of students who earn doctorates and choose to become faculty at colleges and universities. Since its founding in 1993, the program has supported more than 2,000 scholars who have attended 109 institutions in more than 30 states.
