The goal of the fellowship is to enable outstanding doctoral students interested in the study of race and ethnicity to devote their full energies to the completion of the dissertation. One fellowship will be awarded to someone working on the topic of race and ethnicity.
The fellowships carry a $5,000 bonus above and beyond their stipend. The successful applicant will also be provided with shared office space at the Center from September 8, 2026, through August 29, 2027.
The fellow will be expected to be in residence during the award year, to regularly attend and present their work at the CSRPC Dissertation Incubator meetings and to actively participate in the intellectual life of the center as a whole.
