This national merit program in graduate social work education awards five Fellowships each year, for entry in the fall semester. The Fellowship is a full-tuition scholarship.. In addition, the Stokes Fellows, as a group, are offered occasional social and educational opportunities for interaction.

The eligibility requirements, for one to be considered for a Stokes Fellowship are:

  • an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher;
  • demonstrated capacity for leadership;
  • current employment in a social service position involving community development, and at least one year of community development experience
  • a commitment to community development and community building
 

In addition to the requirements above, the Stokes Fellowship has additional criteria to foster minority leadership in the community development field. The Program will target recruitment to:

  • persons employed in the field in the following geographic areas: Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Washington DC, and West Virginia
  • graduates of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) or African-Americans employed in community development corporations affiliated with HBCUs

Candidates for admission to the Mandel School and the University are reviewed at anytime of the year.
