The program comes with a $15,000 award to support research, writing, and travel during the 2013 residency period.

The program provides Gonzalez, a sophomore, with a $1,800 stipend per academic semester. In addition, she will receive summer and annual travel stipends as well as funding to support research activities and Graduate Record Examination (GRE) preparation.
