Procurement Inclusion

SREB - State Doctoral Scholars Program

Doctoral students are encouraged to apply directly to the Southern Regional Education Board for these scholarships. The Doctoral Scholars Program is part of a nationwide initiative, the Compact for Faculty Diversity, to produce more Ph.D.s and to encourage them to seek faculty positions. Developed with support from The Pew Charitable Trusts and the Ford Foundation, the program offers financial support and other services to doctoral scholars nationwide. As a highlight each year, SREB hosts the Institute on Teaching and Mentoring, a supportive gathering of many doctoral scholars across the country.

The SREB-State Doctoral Scholars Program offers two awards to students pursuing Ph.D.s and planning to become college and university professors. If you are eligible, we invite you to apply for one of these awards.
