Effective FY23, each department will receive an annual fixed allocation of diversity incentive money that they may use as part of their overall strategy to achieve the university’s goals of recruiting, retaining, and graduating an increasingly more diverse graduate student cohort. For FY 22/23, this amount shall be up to $30,000. Departments that offer both the PhD and MFA shall receive one $30K allocation.
