Fully Funded Experiential Learning Opportunities

Bespoke experiential programs are a key component of the GradFUTURES approach to professional development—and collaboration has been central to our work from day one. We offer fully funded opportunities for doctoral students to substantively engage with students and higher education leaders in diverse educational settings. Developing expertise and acumen through one-on-one mentorship and coaching, fellows hone the competencies in the GradFUTURES professional competency model and build transformative relationships within the academic community. Hosts benefit from the diverse ideas of graduate students alongside meaningful project deliverables that address local, regional, national, and global challenges.

Create a Bespoke Fellowship with Princeton!

We are currently expanding the number of community college partners, and are delighted to discuss the creation of an administrative fellow role at other institutions. Contact us to set up a time to discuss ideas and begin recruiting talented graduate students.

Community College Teaching Fellowships: Featured Stories

“The MCCC / Princeton Teaching Partnership Program was an exciting opportunity to practice motivating students from a variety of backgrounds through refined science communication and development of course resources to go hand-in-hand with class material. Student engagement in response to implementing certain teaching strategies enabled me to grow as an educator and decipher how best to help students internalize dense material. This opportunity is a great way for Princeton PhD candidates to gain confidence with their ability to inspire in the classroom and navigate the challenges involved with leading a course for a semester."
