Students chosen for the Pre-Doctoral Program are designated Sally Casanova Scholars as a tribute to Dr. Sally Casanova, for whom the scholarship is named.
Sally Casanova Scholars have unique opportunities to explore and prepare to succeed in doctoral programs. Scholars receive one-on-one guidance provided by faculty members within the CSU and the opportunity to work with faculty from doctoral-granting institutions.
They also receive funding for activities such as:
- participation in a
summer research experience program at a doctoral-granting institution
- visits to doctoral-granting institutions to explore opportunities for doctoral study
- travel to a national symposium or professional meeting and related activities, such as membership in professional organizations and journal subscriptions
- graduate school application and test fees
