 Ford Foundation Predoctoral Fellowships are three-year fellowships. [The Ford Foundation Fellowship Programs](http://sites.nationalacademies.org/pga/fordfellowships/index.htm) are administered by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The programs seek 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.
