class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Michigan State Legislature created the Future Faculty Fellowship Program in 1986 as part of the larger King Ch\u00e1vez Parks Initiative, designed to stem the downward spiral of college graduation rates for students underrepresented in postsecondary education. The purpose of the FFF program is to increase the pool of academically or economically disadvantaged candidates pursuing faculty teaching careers in postsecondary education. Preference may not be given to applicants on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, gender, or national origin.&nbsp; Universities should encourage applicants who would not otherwise be adequately represented in the graduate student or faculty populations to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Future Faculty Fellows are required, by signed agreement, to pursue and obtain a master\u2019s or doctoral degree at one of the fifteen public universities in Michigan. FFF recipients are also obligated to obtain a postsecondary faculty teaching or approved administrative position at a public or private, two or four-year, in-state or out-of-state postsecondary institution and remain in that position for up to three years equivalent full-time, dependent upon the amount of the Fellowship Award. Fellows that do not fulfill the obligations of their Fellowship Agreement may be placed in default, which results in the Fellowship converting to a loan, referred to as KCP Loan, that the Fellow repays to the State of Michigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introduction to the Future Faculty Fellowship Program\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/870kTgwPYd4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"636\" height=\"330\" src=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/graduateprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/100\/2026\/07\/KCPlogo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/graduateprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/100\/2026\/07\/KCPlogo.jpg 636w, https:\/\/www.umflint.edu\/graduateprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/100\/2026\/07\/KCPlogo-300x156.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">FFF Eligibility Criteria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Applicants requesting consideration for an FFF Award must be able to provide documentation for the following eligibility criteria.
