Funding and Resources
Doctoral Fellowships
Cornell University provides a wide range of financial and other resources to help students reach their academic, professional, and personal goals. Graduate School Fellowships in support of Diversity contribute to our commitment to advancing Cornell’s founding principle of “… any person … any study” and core value to provide a Community of Belonging.
The concept of “… any person” meant that people from all walks of life, all income levels, races, religions and genders could attend Cornell University. Similarly, “… any study” underscored the freedom to pursue academic interests wherever they lead. For more than 150 years, talented scholars representing the full, diverse spectrum of humanity have come to Cornell for a world-class educational experience unlike any other.
