Deadline:* November 17, 2011*

This year the program will award approximately 35 dissertation fellowships.
The dissertation fellowships provide one year of support for individuals
working to complete a dissertation leading to a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)
or Doctor of Science (Sc.D.) degree.

Dissertation fellowships will be awarded in a national competition
administered by the National Research Council (NRC) on behalf of the Ford
Foundation. The awards will be made to individuals who, in the judgment of
the review panels, have demonstrated superior academic achievement, are
committed to a career in teaching and research at the college or university
level, show promise of future achievement as scholars and teachers, and are
well prepared to use diversity as a resource for enriching the education of
all students.
