The CSU Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program (CDIP) is designed to increase the pool of faculty candidates with the qualifications, motivation, and skill to teach the diverse student body in the CSU. The initial emphasis was to encourage doctoral study in fields in which women and minorities were most underrepresented. Currently applicants in all fields where CSU campuses employ faculty are eligible for admission to this program regardless of gender or ethnicity.
The CDIP will lend participants who are full-time doctoral students up to $10,000 annually to a limit of $30,000 over a five-year period. The recipients may enroll in any approved doctoral program at an accredited university in the United States or abroad. In addition to the loan provision, a full-time, tenure-track member of the CSU faculty formally sponsors participants.
After completion of the doctoral degree, a CDIP participant is extended a 12-month grace period before loan repayments begin. If the participant obtains a full-time instructional faculty position in the CSU, the loan principal and interest are "forgiven" at the rate of 20% for each year of service. After five years of full time faculty service, the entire loan amount can be forgiven. A system wide selection committee composed of CSU faculty, campus administrators, and Chancellor’s Office administrators consider the campus nominees.
Applications for the 2012-2013 application cycle will be available approximately in October, 2011, with an application deadline to the Graduate Studies & Research office in ADM 223 of March 2, 2012. Selection announcements will be made in early May. For additional information on how to apply, please visit the CSU's Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program page.
The website has several sections that contain information for
1. Potential Applicants
2. Current Participants
3. Sponsors
4. Coordinators
Interested students can request a CDIP application through the CDIP website, and current participants can contact the program with questions or updates. In addition, there is a link to the most recent CDIP annual report.
In addition to the application materials indicated in the application checklist, you must also download and submit with your application a Permission to Publish form. This form is a campus-specific document and is available only here.
Note that the staff of the GS&R office will not inspect application materials to determine completeness of the application. Applicants are expected to assemble and submit in full the entire application packet in the correct order and with all necessary parts. Incomplete applications will be not be returned for corrections; instead they will simply not be forwarded to the CSU Chancellor's office for consideration.
The Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program Systemwide Selection Committee met during the spring of 2011 to review the applications submitted by the campuses. San Jose State University is pleased to announce the winners from this campus and the institution that they plan to attend.
