Shawn Jones, a graduate student in Clinical Psychology, is the recipient of the 2015 Ford Foundation Dissertation Fellowship.
The Ford Foundation Fellowship Program is a national competition that recognizes applicants from a broad range of disciplines who have demonstrated superior academic achievement, are committed to a career in teaching and research at the college or university level, show promise of future achievement as scholars and teachers, and are well-prepared to use diversity as a resource for enriching the education of all students.
This fellowship provides one year of support for individuals working to complete a dissertation leading to a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or Doctor of Science (ScD) degree.
