Inamori Fellowship Program - Call for Applications
The Division of Graduate and Research Affairs is pleased to announce the Inamori Fellowship program.
Dr. Kazuo Inamori, founder of Kyocera Corporation, has contributed funds to SDSU that our office will use to provide stipends to degree-seeking graduate students. The program will continue for at least three years. Ten Inamori Fellowships will be awarded annually in open competition.
Award
Each Inamori Fellow will receive $5,000 for a 12-month period. It is our intention that this will augment any other support the student is receiving. There are no duties associated with receiving a fellowship, but fellows will submit a brief summary of their activities at the end of the award period. Fellows may apply for successive annual awards through open competition. Recipients will be named Inamori Fellows at SDSU.
Eligibility
SDSU degree-seeking graduate students may compete for an Inamori Fellowship. Applicants must have at least two semesters remaining in their program.
Criteria for Review
Members of the Student Research Committee will review Inamori Fellowship applications. The committee includes representation from the Graduate Student Association, the Graduate Council and the Division of Research Affairs. The application will include statements of:
- Work completed and planned
