About University of Michigan LSA Collegiate Fellowship Program 2023

The purpose of the LSA Collegiate Fellowship Program is to support exceptional scholars in all three divisions of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts (LSA) — humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences — who are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the academy.

LSA seeks scholars whose teaching and mentoring, and/or research and scholarship, and/or service and engagement will contribute to DEI in higher education. We are particularly interested in scholars who have demonstrated their ability to bring to their work the critical perspectives that come from nontraditional educational backgrounds and pathways, and/or scholarly understanding of the experiences of groups who are historically underrepresented or marginalized in higher education.

Program Details

Using a multi-stage process, applicants in eligible fields will be reviewed according to evidence of contributions in their area of scholarship, teaching, and service, as well as their potential to contribute to higher education through their demonstrated commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in scholarship, and/or teaching, and/or service/leadership.

Applications will be reviewed by the NCID, faculty in the relevant academic department(s)/program(s), as well as a college selection committee and academic dean(s).
