"Through its Fellowship Programs, the Ford Foundation seeks to increase the
diversity of the nation’s college and university faculties by increasing
their ethnic and racial diversity, to maximize the educational benefits of
diversity, and to increase the number of professors who can and will use
diversity as a resource for enriching the education of all students."

Also, if you are interested in meeting with Graduate College Dean Aixa
Alfonso, who is the Illinois faculty liaison with the Ford Foundation,

a Q&A session for her to speak with students.
