Chancellor's Graduate Fellowship Program

The Chancellor's Graduate Fellowship

Here you will find a remarkable, close-knit community of scholars, brought together not by their specific disciplines, but by their shared commitment to becoming academic leaders and enhancing diversity in academia and beyond.

Established in 1991, the Chancellor's Graduate Fellowship provides academic, professional, and personal support for academically excellent graduate students interested in enhancing diversity at Washington University and in the professoriate.

The fellowship cultivates a sense of community and service among our fellows, within Washington University, and in the St. Louis community. By leveraging relationships and resources, the Fellowship is uniquely positioned to foster networking and interdisciplinary collaborations among current fellows and alumni.

A COMMUNITY OF SCHOLARS

Alumni

Our Fellowship is fortunate to have nearly 120 alumni who have gone on to prominent roles as professors and researchers, authors, artists, policymakers, lawyers, entrepreneurs, and civic and social leaders. Together, they have made the Fellowship one of the nations’ leading programs for graduate study.

As part of our 25th-anniversary celebration, the Chancellor’s Graduate Fellowship in conjunction with the Office of the Provost has created the Chancellor’s Graduate Fellows Alumni Initiative or CGFAI. The immediate aim of the CGFAI is to bring our remarkable scholars back to Washington University to share their current work with our academic departments and schools. Our Alumni are also able to provide professional development advice to current Chancellor’s Fellows. The ultimate goal of the CGFAI is to realize the full potential of the Chancellor's Graduate Fellowship Program as a mechanism for diversifying the faculty of the University.
