2009-2010 Dissertation Award
The College of Liberal Arts will award up to 10 awards of up to
$5000 each for the 2009-2010 academic year in support of doctoral
dissertation research. There will be one round of competition in the
Fall semester only and awards will be made in December. Nominations in
the humanities and social sciences will be considered separately by the
selection committee, which consists of all departmental members of the
College of Liberal Arts Graduate Instruction Committee.
The purpose of the award is to facilitate dissertation research in progress, but the explicit need for funding to complete the project (e.g., to finance fieldwork) is NOT an award criterion.
