The selected Fellow must hold the Ph.D. by the start of the award but must not have earned the degree before 2020. The Center will also prioritize scholars with experience working in under-represented communities and/or with topics specific to the challenges faced by under-represented communities, in line with one of the goals of the Texas Tech Strategic Plan: "Advance and sustain a campus climate and culture characterized by accessibility, inclusiveness, and high academic quality."
