Consortium for Faculty Diversity Application Process

The CFD is currently accepting applications for fellowship appointments in academic year 2025-26

Applications must be submitted electronically as described below to Providence College which acts as the application coordinator for the Consortium. All member institutions have direct access to the application database.

Each Consortium member institution will handle the interview and selection process in accordance with its own internal selection processes. Following initial communication between an institution and a candidate, updates regarding the status of the candidate’s application may be obtained from the designated person on each campus. The contact person for each campus is posted on the Member Institution Contact List.

Once an applicant has accepted a fellowship at a Consortium member school, their name will be posted on the CFD Fellowship List for the current academic year. Here is the current list of CFD Fellows.
