Where can I find graduate fellowship information for minority students?

Unlike other standardized admissions tests (such as the SAT, LSAT, and MCAT), the use and weighting of GRE scores varies considerably not only school by school, but department by department and program by program. Programs in liberal arts topics may only consider the applicant's verbal score to be of interest, while math and science programs may only consider quantitative ability. However, since most applicants to math, science, or engineering graduate programs all have high quantitative scores, the verbal score can become a deciding factor in even these programs. Some schools use the GRE in admissions decisions, but not in funding decisions; others use the GRE for the selection of scholarship and fellowship candidates, but not for admissions. In some cases, the GRE may be a general requirement for graduate admissions imposed by the university, while particular departments may not consider the scores at all. Most graduate schools provide information to potential applicants about how the GRE is considered in admissions and funding decisions, and about the average scores of previously admitted students.
