Graduate School Senior Doctoral Fellowship

Deadline for 2012-13 is Friday, March 2, 2012. Download the complete application instructions.

Graduate School Senior Doctoral Fellowships provide comprehensive support to advanced doctoral students pursuing research in the humanities or humanistic social sciences in any School or College at Temple. Fellows receive funding that enables them to work full-time on the dissertation for one semester. This includes a full stipend (identical to that for humanities TAs), one tuition credit, benefits, and $500 in research funding. Fellows receive office space at the Center and join the bi-weekly CHAT Fellows Seminar, where they present part of their dissertation for discussion and critique.

Eligibility

This fellowship is available to Temple Ph.D. students in good standing who have completed all course and exam requirements for the degree and will be elevated to candidacy by the start of the fellowship term (see Graduate School Policies and Procedures 02.27.13). Previous recipients of this fellowship or the Graduate School Doctoral Dissertation Grant are ineligible.

Application

Your application must communicate the significance of your project to faculty outside your own discipline. Please submit:

• A short cover letter identifying the fellowship you are applying for.
• A statement of proposed research (4-5 pages double-spaced) describing the intellectual significance of the project. Provide an overview explaining the basic ideas, problems, or questions examined by the study. Explain how the project will complement, challenge, or expand relevant studies in the field. Include a description of the current state of the work.
• A current C.V.
• One confidential letter of reference by a faculty member familiar with the candidate's research, preferably the dissertation director, sent separately by the recommender.

Send all materials as email attachments to chat@temple.edu.
