With the support of the Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Education (VPGE), the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity (CCSRE) offers a three-year Emerging Scholars Award for outstanding doctoral students newly admitted to a department at Stanford. Emerging Scholars conduct research that addresses the meanings, processes, and consequences of race, ethnicity, and inequality.

The Emerging Scholars award provides fellows with the opportunity to meet on a regular basis with faculty members, graduate students, and other scholars on campus who comprise CCSRE's interdisciplinary community.

Due to funding constraints, CCSRE will not accept Emerging Scholars nominations for AY 2026-2027. Check back for information about nominating doctoral students entering in AY 2027-2028.
