The Chancellor’s Doctoral Incentive Program (CDIP) prepares promising doctoral students for careers as CSU faculty. Its mission is to ensure that the CSU’s future faculty pool can meet the demands of its student body through teaching and research. CDIP Fellows receive mentorship from CSU faculty, professional development, and financial support in the form of grants and loans. Since 1987, CDIP has supported 2,500+ fellows pursuing doctoral degrees with mentoring, financial support, and professional development opportunities.
