Dissertation Fellowships
University Dissertator Fellowship
The University Dissertator Fellowship offers a stipend of at least $7,344/semester, remission of tuition and fees, and benefits. Fellowships in the humanities are offered for one semester only, to provide support for more students. Students must be within 1-2 years of receiving the PhD.
SLA faculty directing dissertations nominate students who have submited a success dissertation proposal to the SLA Executive Committee, which then selects one student each year to nominate to the University competition. Students selected for nomination to the competition must submit the following materials to Dianna Murphy by the deadline (usually in late January/early February):
- 1000 word description of the dissertation topic
- graduate school transcript
- curriculum vitae
- 2-3 letters of recommendation
For education-related dissertation proposals (up to $20,000 for 1-2 years to support writing your dissertation). There was one language-related fellow last year, and quite a few from UW.
For dissertation research funding 6-12 months of field work.
Another fellowship for research in the field for 9-12 months. No language-related fellows on the list; most awards seem to be in history, anthropology and political science. That doesn't mean it's not possible...
International Dissertation Field Research Fellowships
The International Dissertation Field Research Fellowship (IDRF) program provides support for social scientists and humanists conducting dissertation field research in all areas and regions of the world. Up to fifty fellowships will be awarded in the year 2005. The program is administered by the Social Science Research Council in partnership with the American Council of Learned Societies. Funds are provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
The IDRF awards enable doctoral candidates of proven achievement and outstanding potential to use their knowledge of distinctive cultures, societies, languages, economies, polities, and histories, in combination with their disciplinary training, to address issues that transcend their disciplines or area specializations. The program supports scholarship that treats place and setting in relation to broader phenomena as well as in particular historical and cultural contexts.
American Council of Learned Societies Disseration Completion Fellowship
The American Council of Learned Societies in 2006 launched a new fellowship program providing support for young scholars to complete their dissertation and, later, to advance their research after being awarded the Ph.D. The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation/ACLS Early Career Fellowship Program will award fellowships in two categories: Dissertation Completion Fellowships and Fellowships for Recent Doctoral Recipients. A grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation supports this program.
