California Pre-Doctoral Scholarship
The California Pre-Doctoral Program awards funds to approximately 70 juniors, seniors, and graduate students in the CSU. These funds are designed to enable students to explore and prepare to succeed in doctoral programs in their chosen field of study. Scholarships are based on a competitive review of student applications and awarded to current upper-division or graduate students who, in the judgment of the review panel, demonstrate academic excellence while having experienced economic or educational disadvantage, and who are committed to a career in teaching or research at the university level.
Students who are chosen for this prestigious award are designated California Pre-Doctoral Scholars as a tribute to Dr. Sally Casanova, for whom the scholarship is named.
The following presentation is designed to help you learn more about the program and the application process. You may also view the static PowerPoint presentation here.
Internal Deadline: February 14, 2021 by 11:59 p.m. to Associate Dean Jeffrey Honda via email (jeffrey.honda@sjsu.edu).
