costs and providing a stipend for living expenses. The Young fellowship
is given to an entering or continuing African-American graduate student
who has demonstrated academic proficiency in a field related to race relations
or urban problems. The fellowship includes a full scholarship for a year,
as well as a stipend for living expenses. Photo by Kalman Zabarsky
