Academic Programs

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded CSU, in alliance with the University of Colorado-Boulder, a grant to support the Colorado Alliance for Graduate Education and the Professoriate (AGEP). The grant has two components, the Graduate Fellowship Program and the Summer Undergraduate Research Internship Program. Both programs are open to US citizens and Permanent Residents.

  • NSF’s AGEP Fellowship Program seeks to increase the number of students successfully completing quality PhD programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Particular emphasis is placed on supporting groups that historically have been underrepresented in STEM disciplines: African American, Hispanic, Native Pacific Islander, and those enrolled in American Indian, and Alaskan Native tribes, and disabled students. Students chosen to participate as AGEP Fellows receive funding for the first year of their graduate study. The long term goal of our AGEP program is to increase the number of AGEP Fellows who earn their PhD degrees and seek careers as university professors.
  • The goal of the Summer Undergraduate Research Internship Program is to give students an opportunity to participate in research and to enhance students' preparation for graduate school.

The AGEP initiative is a collaboration of 6 STEM colleges at Colorado State University:
