National Academy of Education invites applications for dissertation fellowships
The National Academy of Education invites applications for its NAEd/Spencer Dissertation Fellowship program.
The annual fellowship aims to encourage a new generation of scholars from a wide range of disciplines and professional fields to undertake research relevant to the improvement of education.
A $27,500 stipend will be awarded to individuals whose dissertations show potential for bringing fresh and constructive perspectives to the history, theory, or practice of formal or informal education anywhere in the world. In addition to the stipend, fellows attend professional development retreats and receive mentorship from NAEd members and other senior scholars in their field. The dissertation topic must focus primarily on education, but the fellowship welcomes graduate students from any academic discipline or professional field. Fellowship recipients have included candidates from anthropology, architecture, art history, communications, economics, education, history, linguistics, literature, philosophy, political science, psychology, public health, religion, and sociology.
The dissertation fellowship is intended to support the writing of the dissertation during the last year(s) of doctoral work and cannot be used during the data collection phase of the dissertation.
Applicants need not be U.S. citizens; however, they must be candidates for a doctoral degree at a graduate institution within the United States.
For complete program guidelines, application instructions, and a list of previously awarded fellows, see the National Academy of Education website.
Deadline: October 3, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. ET
