Spencer Dissertation Year Fellowships

Looking to fund your dissertation research?  Spencer Foundation Fellowships are highly prized awards that not only provide a competitive stipend, but also provide opportunities for mentoring by leaders in the field directly related to your research topic.  If this announcement comes too early for your program plans, take the time to visit the Foundation website and learn more so you can prepare for next year's competition.  Do not wait!

Applications are currently being accepted for the 2010 Spencer Dissertation Fellowship for Research Related to Education.  Approximately 20 Fellowships of $25,000 are awarded each year by the Spencer Foundation to support doctoral candidates in a variety of fields whose dissertations promise to contribute fresh perspectives to the history, theory, or practice of education. Please note that although the dissertation topic must concern education, graduate study may be in any academic discipline. In addition, although applicants must be candidates for a doctoral degree at a graduate school in the United States, they need not be citizens of the United States.

Applications must be submitted by Wednesday, October 21, 2009.
