Academic Mentorship Program

The Academic Mentorship Program funds a year-long research collaboration between a doctoral student and an established faculty mentor. It supports a focused research project during an academic year, with an emphasis on producing scholarship and preparing participants for engagement in their fields' conversations. The program offers mentorship matching support and expects mentorship pairs to attend and participate in at least one academic conference together during the grant period.

Research expense funding, conference travel funding, mentor honorarium, mentorship matching support, and expectation of joint conference participation.

Open to students enrolled as a PhD student or doctoral candidate during the 2026–2027 academic year with a demonstrated commitment to sustained research collaboration and defined scholarly outputs.
