Minority Student Fellowships and Awards The APS offers a number of fellowships specifically for minority undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. These fellowships are designed to not only provide important financial resources for the student but to also offer opportunities to build connections with the physiology community. Awardees will have opportunities to network with both senior and junior physiologists and with minority postdoctoral fellows and graduate and undergraduate students. Please note that these programs have specific eligibility requirements in terms of educational level/degree and racial/ethnic group. Some require U.S. citizenship or a permanent resident visa. Please read the application materials carefully. At this time, the APS does NOT offer any undergraduate scholarships.
