Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive
Program
The Chancellor's Doctoral
Incentive/Forgivable Loan Program (CDI/FLP) provides student loans to a
limited number of individuals pursuing full-time doctoral study at
accredited universities throughout the United States.
The program seeks
to provide loans to doctoral students who are interested in applying
and competing for CSU instructional faculty positions after completion
of the doctoral degree. Loans obtained through this program are
repayable over a 15-year period, following completion of the degree or
withdrawal from doctoral study. The program also offers the potential
for loan forgiveness. If a participant applies, competes for, and is
hired in a CSU instructional faculty position after completion of the
doctoral degree, 20 percent of the loan will be forgiven for each year
of full-time postdoctoral teaching employment in the CSU.

Annual
CSUN Student Research and Creative Works Symposium
The CSUN Student
Research and Creative Works Symposium takes place each fall
semester. The purpose of the symposium is to highlight student
achievement and to inform the campus community of the excellent quality
and diversity of research and creative activity being conducted by
undergraduate and graduate students across all academic
disciplines. The symposium format permits a 10 minute oral
presentation or a poster presentation. Undergraduate and graduate
students from all disciplines are encouraged to participate. There are
separate undergraduate and graduate divisions for each of the
following categories (unless a division had only a few entrants, in
which case undergraduate and graduate disciplines were combined).
Students make either an oral or poster presentation.
Based on the
recommendation of the judges, cash awards are presented to the
outstanding oral presenter and runner-up in each category for both the
graduate and undergraduate divisions. For the poster session, a cash
award is given to the outstanding undergraduate and graduate
student.
