The National Conference of Black Political Scientists strongly supports
the development of political scientists and emerging scholars in pursuit
of excellence in mentoring, teaching, writing, and research. Several
NCOBPS awards are presented at the annual
conference each year to colleagues
who have made outstanding contributions to the field of political science.
In addition, small travel grants are provided to students each year
through the NCOBPS Graduate
Assistance Program.
