The Eurasia Dissertation Support Fellowships provide financial and academic support to graduate students near completion of their doctoral programs in the social sciences and related humanities. The program provides fellowship awards of up to $25,000 for the 2010-2011 academic year, designed to allow advanced graduate students concentrated time to devote to the intellectual development of their projects and to write up the results of their research. In addition to financial assistance, the fellowship program provides academic support and numerous networking opportunities, as all fellows will be required to attend two workshops - one at the beginning and the other at the end of the their fellowship term. These workshops will allow fellows to discuss their work in an interdisciplinary setting with a number of their peers and resource faculty, as well as provide a number of training sessions explicitly geared towards advanced graduate students.

The Eurasia Fellowship Program is a nationally competitive program that draws applications from a diverse students enrolled in a variety of American and international institutions of higher education. All Eurasia Program Fellowship applications are reviewed by an interdisciplinary panel of experts that reward proposals with clear arguments, carefully considered theory and methodology, a writing style accessible to readers both inside and outside the applicant’s discipline. Proposals should be intriguing for both a specialist and generalist audience. All proposals are expected to meet high levels of academic merit and to address the current needs of the field of Eurasian studies.
