Rogel TrEC M4 & Graduate Student Scholarships: Now Accepting Applications

M4 Competition
Three $50,000 scholarships will recognize outstanding senior medical students who have demonstrated a commitment to advancing cancer research. Students can self-nominate. Learn more and apply.
Graduate Student Competition
These $25,000 scholarships will recognize outstanding graduate students who have achieved candidacy in their Ph.D. program. These awards will be made to the student’s research mentor, and must be used to offset the student’s stipend and tuition during their tenure as a Rogel Scholarship awardee. New this year, $2,500 from each scholarship will be allocated for travel funds for the awardee to attend a conference that aligns with their research and career goals. Learn more and apply.
Upcoming MORE Workshops: 02.02.23 I 10:30 a.m. - 2 p.m.
The Getting Your Mentoring Relationship Off to a Good Start workshop helps enhance the mentoring relationship between the student and faculty mentor by facilitating the development of shared expectations. Mentors and mentees work independently in separate sessions to identify their own objectives and styles and consider strategies for dealing with possible challenges. Then, student/faculty pairs work together to develop a written mentoring plan as a means of codifying some of the most important elements (needs, goals, mutual expectations) of a two-way mentoring relationship.
Over 82% of Rackham doctoral students who have written mentoring plans report those plans to be useful.
- Part I: 10:30 a.m. - 12 p.m. Faculty only and student only sessions
- Part II: 12:10 - 1 p.m. Faculty and student joint session
- Part III: 1-2 p.m. Optional additional one-on-one time
Registration required of BOTH faculty and students for each pair/group to attend.
