Graduate studies are often funded by university supported teaching assistantships, research assistantships, fellowships and federal student aid programs. Traditionally, funding for master?s level graduate education has been limited, and students often have to fund their own education; making a full-time commitment to academics and research cost prohibitive. North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NCA&T), a historically black college and land-grant university, is one of four Ph.D. granting institutions within the NCLSAMP Alliance, and leads the University of North Carolina (UNC) System in the production of STEM degrees (Evans, 2012). The overall goal of the BD Fellowship Program at NCA&T is to increase the number of science and engineering majors who pursue PhDs in STEM fields. Specific objectives are to: 1) Recruit a cadre of STEM graduate students who have the potential for academic success, and the desire to pursue a STEM PhD.; 2) Provide academic development workshops, financial support, and experiences to promote the retention of participants; and 3) Assist students in their transition to graduate studies and ultimately the PhD. Utilizing strategic initiatives aligned with the North Carolina A&T Strategic Plan, ?Preeminence 2020?, the Bridge to the Doctorate Fellowship Program at NCA&T will produce 12 highly competitive graduate students who have experience in the interdisciplinary applications of science and mathematics in scholarship and research relevant to 21st century STEM workforce development.

研究生学习通常由大学支持的助教奖学金、研究助学金、奖学金和联邦学生援助计划资助。传统上，资助大师？美国的研究生教育水平有限，学生往往不得不资助自己的教育;全职致力于学术和研究成本高昂。北卡罗来纳州农业技术州立大学（NCA T），一所历史悠久的黑人学院和赠地大学，是四个博士学位之一。NCLSAMP联盟内的授予机构，并领导北卡罗来纳州（北卡罗来纳州）系统在STEM学位的生产（埃文斯，2012年）。在NCA T的BD奖学金计划的总体目标是增加科学和工程专业谁追求在干领域博士学位的数量。具体目标是：1）招募一批有学术成功潜力并渴望攻读STEM博士学位的STEM研究生; 2)提供学术发展研讨会，财政支持和经验，以促进参与者的保留;和3）帮助学生过渡到研究生学习，并最终博士学位。利用与北卡罗来纳州A T战略计划相一致的战略举措，？卓越2020？，在NCA T的博士奖学金计划的桥梁将产生12名极具竞争力的研究生谁在科学和数学的学术和研究相关的21世纪干劳动力发展的跨学科应用经验。
