MSI Recruitment Weekend: For ten years, the Admissions Office of the Graduate School of Education has worked with Dr. Gasman, and now CMSI, to host promising undergraduates from MSIs around the country to attend a special recruiting event that provides information about graduate school attendance, application and the enrollment process. Fifteen students attended this amazing event in 2014 and were introduced to the academic opportunities available to them at Penn and also to the global possibilities and benefits of a graduate education.

CMSI Summer Internship Program: Beginning in 2015, CMSI will offer internship opportunities for undergraduates enrolled at MSIs who are interested in pursuing a career in education. For eight weeks, students will gain research experience by working closely with our research team, and be exposed to the administrative responsibilities of CMSI.

CMSI Fellowship Program: Fellowships are for scholars from any field with a focus on Minority Serving Institutions. These one-year fellowships include a $5,000 stipend, as well as travel and room & board for one of the Center's national convenings. In addition, CMSI commits to disseminating the scholar's work through its network of supporters and readers.
