The U-M Concussion Center is pleased to announce its inaugural call for the Zatkoff Graduate Student Fellowship for Concussion Research. Doctoral students are a cornerstone of academia, significantly enriching the research and educational landscape, and are at the beginning of becoming tomorrow’s leaders. These students emerge as content experts with skill sets, such as critical thinking and communication, that are valuable within and beyond academia. Their contributions ensure the continued vitality and innovation of the scholarly community and can lead to broader societal benefits through research and practical applications.

To increase students’ opportunities to attend the University of Michigan, the Michigan Concussion Center has created the Zatkoff Graduate Student Fellowship for Concussion Research. This fellowship provides full tuition (in or out-of-state), a stipend (12 months at 50% effort), and health care costs. One position will be available starting in Fall 2025.
