Our Crowdfunding Groups
To foster and advance inclusive excellence at NAU, NAU President Jose Luis Cruz Rivera, PhD, and Rima Brusi, PhD, established the W.E.B. Du Bois Emerging Scholars Fellowship Award. With a focus on leveraging the teacher-scholar model, the award increases opportunities for diverse students to engage in mentored research, scholarly work, internships, and creative activities.
Reinforcing NAU 2025 - Elevating Excellence, the W.E.B. Du Bois Emerging Scholars Fellowship Award is an important vehicle for driving transformative learning opportunities. Targeted toward undergraduate students enrolled full-time from historically underrepresented backgrounds (especially those who identify as Black or African American), the award provides $5,000 for conducting research, creative scholarship, or an innovative project under the guidance of a faculty mentor. Awardees may use the funds for research-related supplies, equipment, books, professional development, and internships.
NAU is working to grow the W.E.B. Du Bois fund to ensure the program is available in perpetuity for Lumberjack students. Make your gift today!
