Support ISSC´s Graduate Fellows Program
ISSC is committed to fostering a new generation of scholars who address problems of social change in innovative and interdisciplinary ways. ISSC´s Graduate Fellows Program plays an integral part in training scholars to address the pressing challenges that face California, the nation, and the world.
In addition to receiving monthly stipends, office space and use of a computer, Graduate Fellows enjoy access to a rich array of activities that promote mentoring relations with faculty, collaboration with peers, and the exchange of ideas with a broad audience of academic and community leaders.
Because ISSC places questions of race, ethnicity, gender, and class at the center of its research agenda, the Program has been especially effective in enabling students from underrepresented groups to complete their doctoral studies and obtain faculty positions at top academic institutions around the United States.
