Graduate Fellowships
Up to five fellowships are available for Summer or Fall 2010 to Columbia doctoral students who are preparing proposals or conducting research for their dissertations. The fellowship will provide each student $4000 to cover expenses directly related to research, including, travel, lodging and materials.

Preference will be given to students who are doing international research and need to travel abroad. In compelling cases, travel within the U.S. to consult archives or conduct research in particular communities will be considered.
Application: Please provide 1) a letter of reference from a faculty member who will serve on your dissertation committee; 2) a three-page description of the research project, including travel plans, an itemized budget and a schedule for completion of the dissertation.
