The Arnold Mitchem Fellows Program serves first-generation, low-income and underrepresented sophomores planning to attend graduate school and pursue a research career. Participation in the program is an academic, yearlong commitment.
The program is named after Arnold L. Mitchem, Ph.D., president emeritus of the Council for Opportunity in Education (COE). Dr. Mitchem has been a voice for low-income, first-generation students and individuals with disabilities his entire career. Thanks to his work, the federally funded TRiO programs have expanded by nearly 400 percent and now serve more than 872,000 students at 1,200 college and universities. DePaul is one of several universities to offer fellowships named after Dr. Mitchem to encourage both opportunity and achievement in higher education.
