Ed Psych selected to receive CIC Training Grant funding

Six new doctoral students from under-represented communities will receive full funding in 2020-2021.

The Department of Educational Psychology has been selected by the University of Minnesota Graduate School to receive full funding for six PhD students through the 2021-2022 Creating Inclusive Cohorts (CIC) Training Program. Incoming 2021 students will be nominated—based on their application materials. The Creating Inclusive Cohorts Training Program seeks to recruit academically excellent students with diverse ethnic, racial, economic, and educational backgrounds and experiences.
Special thanks to the Department of Educational Psychology’s Graduate Advisory Committee (GAC)—especially Associate Professor Faith Miller (school psychology); Assistant Professor David DeLiema (psychological foundations of education); and Associate Professor Debbie Golos (special education)—who with our Director of Graduate Studies Professor Panayiota Kendeou (psychological foundations of education) put together a successful proposal for our department.
