Award Information
The American Anthropological Association invites minority doctoral candidates in anthropology to apply for a dissertation writing fellowship. The annual Dissertation Fellowship for Historically Underrepresented Persons in Anthropology (formerly the Minority Dissertation Award) is intended to encourage members of racialized minorities to complete doctoral degrees in anthropology, thereby increasing diversity in the discipline and/or promoting research on issues of concern among minority populations. Dissertation topics in all areas of the discipline are welcome. Doctoral students who require financial assistance to complete the write-up phase of the dissertation are urged to apply. Applicants must have graduated from a U.S. high school or completed a GED certificate in the U.S. Applicants must have been also admitted to degree candidacy before the dissertation fellowship is awarded. Applicants must also be a member of the American Anthropological Association. Applicants must have had their dissertation proposals approved by their dissertation committees prior to application.
