As Sally Casanova Pre-Doctoral Scholars, CSUSB graduate students Krisha Orgo, Sasha Augustina Tesoro, Margaret F. Phillips and Filimon Fregoso receive funding for educational and research activities, one-on-one guidance provided by faculty members within the CSU, and the opportunity to work with faculty from doctoral-granting institutions.

The program, which is awarded to juniors, seniors and graduate students, provides financial assistance for those interested in exploring and preparing for a doctoral program.

The Sally Casanova Pre-Doctoral Scholars program assists students interested in a doctoral program, while the Chancellor’s Doctoral Incentive Program aims to increase the number of doctoral students applying for future CSU faculty positions.

Four CSUSB students are among the 76 CSU students who have been named the 2021-22 Sally Casanova California Pre-Doctoral Scholars.
