King/Chavez/Parks Future Faculty

The KCP Future Faculty Fellows Program was created by the Michigan legislature in 1986 as part of the larger King/Chavez/Parks Initiative designed to increase the number of academically or economically disadvantaged candidates pursuing faculty-teaching careers or an administrative position in higher education.

To be eligible, the candidate must be:

  • U.S. Citizen
  • Not in current default status on any guaranteed student loan or KCP Loan
  • Completing a master's degree at a public university in Michigan.

The Future Faculty fellows award is intended as a fellowship for those persons who go on to teach or work in a administrative position at a two (2) or four (4) year public or private postsecondary institution.

GVSU Master's degree students who are awarded this fellowship may receive up to a maximum of $20,000. However, failure to fulfill the requirements of the Future Faculty Fellowship program will result in the award be converted into a loan payable to the State of Michigan.

At GVSU, KCP Future Faculty Fellow Applications are reviewed once per year in February. This review is conducted by a faculty committee and may include not only a review of the application, but also a screening interview.

Deadline of February 15.
