Fellowships for Currently Enrolled
Students
Doctoral
Dissertation Fellowship
The purpose of the Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship (DDF) program is to give outstanding final-year Ph.D. candidates who are making timely progress toward the degree--typically those who will be entering their final year of graduate study--an opportunity to complete the dissertation within the upcoming academic year by devoting full-time effort to the research and writing of the dissertation. Candidates must be nominated by their graduate program's Director of Graduate Studies (DGS) to an all-University competition. At least 75 Doctoral Dissertation Fellowships are awarded annually. Nomination deadline is March 14, 2008 for the 2008-2009 academic year.
Recipients of the fellowship, in 2008-2009, will receive a stipend of $22,000 for the academic year, plus full tuition for thesis credits. Eligible recipients are also covered by comprehensive health insurance, including subsidized dependent and dental care.
Instructions to nominees and application forms are available from the DGS in late fall.
