CSU DOCTORAL INCENTIVE PROGRAM 2010-2011* |
The CSU has announced the continuation of the Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program (CDIP) for the 2010-2011 academic year. The program is competitive and is open to full-time doctoral students at accredited universities across the country. It is designed around the principle that maintaining the excellence of CSU faculty requires support for quality. To do this, the CDIP Loan Program provides financial assistance to doctoral students qualified to fill instructional faculty positions at campuses in the CSU following the award of the doctoral degree.
The Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program (CDIP) offers financial support and faculty sponsorship to students pursuing doctoral degrees full time and who plan to pursue a teaching career in the CSU following the completion of their doctoral degree. This program provides loans up to $10,000 per year for a total of $30,000 over a 5-year period. The loan forgiveness will be at 20% of the loan for each year of full-time postdoctoral teaching at a CSU campus.
Each applicant is evaluated on his/her potential to complete an accredited, full-time doctoral program and compete successfully for a CSU tenure-track faculty position. The probable need for faculty in the candidate's field at the time when the doctoral student enters the job market is also considered. Being selected for the Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive does not guarantee any participant a teaching position within the CSU. All participants are subject to the usual competitive application process for any position within the CSU.
A campus committee will review all CDIP applications and forward its recommendations to the President. The President, in turn, will send his nominations to the Office of the Chancellor where all applications will be reviewed by a systemwide committee that makes its recommendations to the Chancellor. Selections are announced in May.
If you know of any students and/or lecturers who might be interested in and qualify for this program, please encourage their application. The three criteria for acceptance are:
|
- Faculty sponsor's plan of support
|
- Need for faculty within the candidate's discipline
|
The program is competitive and only the highest quality proposal will succeed.
Any questions regarding the program should be directed to Amy Alspaugh in the Office of Academic Affairs at (657) 278-2616.
Downloadable applications are available through the Chancellor's website http://www.calstate.edu/hr/cdip/index.shtml . Deans and Associate Deans in each of the colleges will receive program information. Completed applications will be due in Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, MH-133 on Thursday, February 11, 2010. Incomplete applications or applications received after the deadline will not be accepted.
