Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action Invites Applications for Doctoral Student Fellowship and Seminar
Deadline: September 19, 2011

The Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action has announced a fellowship opportunity for doctoral students writing dissertations related to nonprofit or philanthropic studies. Fellows will have the chance to get important feedback on their research and will receive funding to attend the 2011 ARNOVA Annual Conference (November 17-19, 2011) in Toronto, Ontario.

The ARNOVA Doctoral Student Seminar is a one-day gathering designed to provide intellectual advice, personal encouragement, and networking opportunities to Ph.D. candidates pursuing studies related to the fields of nonprofit, voluntary action, or civil society studies. The seminar will be held November 16, 2011, the day prior to the start of the ARNOVA conference, and will include a group of up to eight fellows as well as several senior nonprofit scholars. Students will make brief presentations on their research and receive feedback from senior scholars and their fellow doctoral students. Following the seminar, students will be expected to participate in the ARNOVA Conference, which offers additional opportunities to learn about important issues in nonprofit research.

Fellows will each receive $1,000 to offset the cost of travel and lodging at the seminar and ARNOVA conference, plus free registration at the conference.

In order to be considered for the fellowship, doctoral students must have approved dissertation proposals, with preference given to applicants in the early to mid-stage of their research. Fellows may come from any institution and any academic discipline. The research must be focused on a topic related to philanthropy, voluntary action, civil society, and the nonprofit sector. The scope of the studies may include organizations or activities in the U.S. or other countries.
