About us
EDGE-SBE is a collaboration between Stanford University, the University of Southern California, the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A & M University. At Stanford, EDGE-SBE is a broadly interdisciplinary program with connections to the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity (CCRSE) and IRiSS.
EDGE-SBE offers the following forms of support:
• Graduate Diversity Fellowships. These are "add-ons" to the basic financial packages offered by Stanford departments. Among other things, these funds help support research by the fellows and travel by fellows to professional conferences.
• One-on-One Mentoring. In addition to any advisors assigned by their department, EDGE fellows are assigned to a faculty mentor and a graduate student mentor. These mentors work with EDGE-SBE to help the student make a successful transition to graduate school and to academia.
• Connections to Colleagues at Other Institutions. A yearly conference supported by EDGE-SBE allows fellows to present ideas, obtain feedback and network with peers and professors at participating universities. The goal is to provide a highly supportive environment that fosters both professional and personal connections.
