Two Students Receive Ford Foundation Honorable Mention

5/15/08

Two counseling psychology doctoral students, Miguel Cano and Araceli Lopez, received honorable mention recognition in the 2008 Predoctoral Competition of the Ford Foundation Diversity Fellowships.

"Although Miguel and Araceli did not receive the fellowship this year, the designation of honorable mention by the Ford Foundation review panel speaks to the recognition of the quality of their work and their promise as future academicians," Linda Castillo, advisor and associate professor of counseling psychology, said.

Approximately 1,200 predoctoral students submitted applications, and this year, approximately 60 were selected. The predoctoral fellowships provide three years of support for individuals engaged in graduate study leading to a doctor of philosophy or doctor of science degree. 

The fellowships were administered by the National Research Council on behalf of the Ford Foundation to individuals who, in the judgment of the review panels, have demonstrated superior academic achievement, are committed to a career in teaching and research at the college or university level, show promise of future achievement as scholars and teachers, and are well prepared to use diversity as a resource for enriching the education of all students.
