Morris Student Administrative Fellows Program (MSAFP)
The
University of Minnesota, Morris offers the Morris Student Administrative Fellows Program, in which
academic and administrative staff select academically talented, qualified
students to assist them in administrative and managerial projects.
Selected
students undertake assignments intended to enhance their intellectual
competence and increase their interest in graduate or professional study.
Application
forms are available to faculty and staff in Division Offices and the Dean's
Office. Download the Morris Student Administrative Fellows Program (MSAFP) application form here: MSAFP Application

* An MSAFP student must have a
cumulative GPA of 2.0.
* An MSAFP student must carry a
minimum of 12 credits per semester.
* An MSAFP student is not on an
hourly payroll. Awards will depend on the approximate number of hours expected
per week, from a minimum of $500 per semester to a maximum of $1,000.
* Stipends are paid at the
beginning of each semester, directly to a student's STARS account.
* MSAFP fellowships are renewable.
* Service as an MSAFP student will
not disqualify a student from having a MAP, but they may not be held concurrently.
* MSAFP fellowships must clearly
demonstrate an academic component and cannot simply be used to replace
work-study.
* The MSAFP fellowship is not
available for academic credit.
Procedures:
* A faculty or staff member
completes an application form and submits it to his/her supervisor.
* The supervisor approves the
application and forwards it to the Dean's Office for consideration.
* The Dean forwards the
applications to a screening committee for recommendation.
* The Dean notifies the applicant and
the student of the decision via campus mail.
Award
Criteria:
* Will the MSAFP fellowship provide an assignment that enhances the student's intellectual competence and increase his/her interest in graduate or professional study?
* Does the
project involve greater complexity than typical work-study assignments and will
it provide assistance to, rather than add to, the workload of a busy and
productive faculty member?
* Applications
from all units of the campus or from regional agencies, such as WCROC are
allowed.
* No weight
should be put on whether an eligible student has been chosen for the project.
