Alliances for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP) is a network of universities dedicated to increasing the number of underrepresented minorities obtaining graduate degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Through funding made available from the Central New York-Puerto Rico (CNY-PR) AGEP, Cornell also offers support during the summer prior to a student formally beginning his/her graduate MS/PhD program. After two years, if a student is progressing satisfactorily, the college will provide further full support by means of Graduate Research Assistantships, Teaching Assistantships and/or additional fellowships. This support will continue for the duration of the student's degree program. All prospective MS/PhD underrepresented minority students are highly encouraged to visit the Cornell campus and meet with the appropriate faculty and staff.
For additional information, please contact Professor Rick Allmendinger, Associate Dean of Diversity.
