Jack Kent Cooke Foundation
Description
The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation<http://www.jkcf.org/>, which assists high-achieving
low-income students reach their full potential through education, is inviting
applications for its Dissertation Fellowship Program.
The foundation created the dissertation fellowships for doctoral candidates who are
researching, within the populations served by the foundation, factors and contexts
that help students with financial need overcome personal adversity and challenging
socioeconomic circumstances to excel academically.
Now in its third year, the program will award four fellowships of up to $25,000 to
support advanced doctoral candidates in a variety of fields. Please note that the
applicants' graduate study may be in a diverse range of academic disciplines (e.g.,
policy studies, economics, psychology, education), but their topic must be tied to
the foundation's mission -- advancing the education of exceptionally promising
students who have financial need.
All candidates must have successfully completed all pre-dissertation requirements.
Although applicants must be candidates for a doctoral degree at a graduate school in
the United States, they need not be U.S. citizens.
Closing Date: February 4, 2013
