The positions are open to current or prospective graduate students in all fields of study, regardless of citizenship. Applicants must be enrolled in a university program or have completed the program no more than six months before the application deadline. A cumulative GPA of 3.0 or its equivalent is generally expected. Some stipends are awarded on the bases of need and merit; they are insufficient to cover all costs, and are targeted primarily at American Indian, Native Hawaiian, and Alaska Native students.
