Diversifying Faculty in Illinois

Diversifying Higher Education Faculty in Illinois Program

If you have an interest in pursuing a Master's or Doctorate degree and remaining in Illinois, this program may be for you.

The Diversifying Higher Education Faculty in Illinois Program (DFI) was established by the Illinois General Assembly and signed as Public Act 093-0862 on August 4, 2004. This act combined the Illinois Minority Graduate Incentive Program (IMGIP) and the Illinois Consortium for Educational Opportunity Program (ICEOP). This program provides annual stipends (up to four years) to degree-seeking underrepresented graduate students interested in pursuing a career in higher education. Upon graduation, fellowship recipients are obligated to actively seek and accept, when offered, a teaching or non-teaching full-time appointment at an Illinois post-secondary educational institution for the same amount of time as funded.

Application materials are posted on the DFI web site.

For further information, contact:

Venessa A. Brown, Ph.D., MSW
Associate Chancellor for Institutional Diversity and Inclusion

Targeted Groups
A DFI Fellow must be an Illinois resident and U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident alien who is a member of an Underrepresented Group: Black/African American, Hispanic American, Asian American, American Indian or Alaskan Native. "Traditionally underrepresented minority group" means any of the minority groups designated in the Public Act which are represented in Illinois post-baccalaureate enrollment at a percentage rate less than the minority group's representation in the total Illinois population. The Public Act further specifies that to be classified as an Illinois resident, an applicant must possess a high school diploma or postsecondary degree from an accredited Illinois educational institution or have lived in Illinois for at least three years.
