Interested in Educational research & considering a PhD?
The expanded Access, Wellness, and Relational Determinants of Student Success (AWARDSS or AWARDSS-PLUS) Program, funded by the Institute of Education Sciences, is open to students of all disciplines that lead to a PhD program in an education-related field, such as education, social science, and public health.
This UROC-affiliated program at the University of Arizona can prepare you for doctoral study in education through an exceptional year-long training program.
Update: Our 2025 AWARDSS Cohort is full!
However, you can still apply to UROC summer programs if you like!
UROC programs for those interested in other areas are available here: https://grad.arizona.edu/uroc/uroc
If you're specifically interested in educational research outside of the application period, please contact our PI, Dr. Michelle Perfect. mperfect@arizona.edu
Note: The application website (UROC) uses a universal form for all programs, and some of the information contradicts our requirements (i.e. UROC states that you must be a continuing UA junior or senior with a certain graduation date, but the AWARDSS program has broader acceptance standards as described above*). The information you find here at the AWARDSS site is accurate regarding requirements.
