Rochester, N.Y. December 13, 2007 — Deaf or hard-of-hearing college graduates with a bachelor’s degree are invited to apply to the Professional Fellowship Program at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID), a college of Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). This program offers a master’s degree in a professional or technical field — for free.

Deaf and hard-of-hearing graduate students who apply must be United States citizens and be accepted into a two- to three-year master’s degree program at RIT to be eligible for this fellowship. An application and other required materials are due to the Professional Fellowship Program selection committee by March 31, 2008 for admission the following fall.
