Diversity Fellows Program

 

WELCOME!

 SUPPORT FOR BIOLOGY GRADUATE APPLICANTS ON THE AXES OF DIVERSITY IN STEM

Our program aims to support folks in groups that are historically excluded from STEM as they prepare their applications to any biology graduate program.

Curated resources below are available to everyone. Additional mentorship is available to folks on the axes of diversity. Folks on the axes of diversity include Black, Indigenous, and other folks of color, people with disability, LGBTQIA+ individuals, undocumented, and first-generation folks. We are excited to be part of your journey to graduate program!
