SLOAN FOUNDATION    SCHOLARSHIPS

The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation's Minority Ph.D. Program offers substantial scholarship support to underrepresented minority students who are beginning their doctoral work in engineering, natural science and mathematics. Since its establishment in 1995, the program has supported more than 200 students.

The University of South Carolina School of Medicine has an active Sloan Foundation program that supports several of our current students. After admission to the Graduate Program using the normal application procedures, minority students are invited to apply for support from the foundation. For more information please contact Dr Alvin Fox, the director of the Sloan Program at the medical school.
