Aim and Benefits of Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation Dissertation Fellowships

Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation awards US$20,000 each

Requirements for Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation Dissertation Fellowships Qualification

• These fellowships of $20,000 each are designed to contribute to the support of the doctoral candidate to enable him or her to complete the thesis in a timely manner and are only appropriate for students approaching the final year of their Ph.D. work.
• This fellowship is not for support of doctoral research. Applications are evaluated in comparison with each other and not in competition with the postdoctoral research grant proposals.
• Applicants may be citizens of any country and studying at colleges or universities in any country.
• These grants are made to Ph.D. candidates who are entering the dissertation stage of graduate school. Usually, this means that fieldwork or other research is complete and writing has begun. If analysis and writing are not far enough along for an applicant to be confident that he will complete the dissertation within the year, he should not apply, as the application will not be competitive with those that comply with this timetable. In some disciplines, particularly experimental fields, research and writing can reasonably be expected to be completed within the same year, and in those cases it is appropriate to apply.
