Graduate Students

Graduate and professional students at MSU who are in good standing in their programs may apply. Faculty or others are encouraged to nominate a graduate student. Nominators should be those who directly collaborated with the applicant/nominee, can demonstrate, and explain the applicant/nominee’s impact on their program, unit, or department at MSU and/or on their campus community, or who are otherwise knowledgeable about how the applicant/nominee embodies DEI philosophy through their DEI actions.

A graduate or professional student can receive a DEI Award once during their time at MSU. The Diversity Equity and Inclusion Award is awarded to up to five students at $1,000.00 each. The recipients are selected during Spring Semester 2024 to be awarded the following Fall Semester. Recipients need to be enrolled for the fall semester to receive the funding.
