  • Note: This statement should include the student's career goals (i.e. Where do you see yourself immediately after graduation and beyond?) as well as a statement of the teaching interests that the student might have (i.e. Do you know at what type of institution or what kind of classes/students you would like to teach?).

  • Notes
    • If you are currently a Howard student, a BisonWeb transcript is acceptable.
    • If you are a new student to Howard, you will need to submit an official transcript from your previous graduate institution.
    • If you are in a program or have a fellowship that requires mandatory participation in PFF you are not required to submit a transcript.
• Letter(s) of Recommendation
  • Notes
    • One letter of recommendation should come from your graduate advisor testifying to the fact that you are maintaining satisfactory academic progress in your program and that they are prepared to offer you support through the PFF program.
    • If your advisor is NOT acting as your mentor, you will also need to submit a second letter of recommendation from your faculty mentor. This letter should express your current preparation for becoming a faculty member and what areas they believe that you will need to work on during your next two years in the PFF program.
