Ford Foundation Fellowship

Anthony Franklin (Statistics graduate student) received a 2008 Ford Foundation Diversity Fellowship. This fellowship program is administered by the National Research Council of the National Academies and seeks to increase the diversity of the nation’s college and university faculties by increasing their ethnic and racial diversity, to maximize the educational benefits of diversity, and to increase the number of professors who can and will use diversity as a resource for enriching the education of all students. Franklin was one of only 120 scholars to receive either the predoctoral, dissertation or postdoctoral award.
