The Graduate School has awarded Summer Dissertation Fellowships to 34 doctoral candidates to facilitate progress toward completion of their dissertation. Each $4,000 award provides funding to offset living or research-related expenses, allowing candidates to fully focus on completing their degrees.
The fellowships were initiated to provide funding to help doctoral candidates complete their dissertations in a timely manner and to address the need for more summer funding opportunities. The funding is provided through the Invest ϲ initiative to strengthen support for graduate education and research.
“The Summer Dissertation Fellowships are one part of a broader set of initiatives to support our doctoral students in completing their degrees in a timely fashion,” says Associate Provost and Graduate School Dean Peter Vanable. “The 2021 recipients represent the broad range of disciplines and scholarship that ϲ is known for.”
