Each year, the CSRPC Dissertation Completion Fellowship is awarded to one student who is writing their dissertation on a topic related to race, politics, and/or culture. The goal of the fellowship is to enable an outstanding doctoral student interested in the study of race and ethnicity to devote his or her full energies to the completion of the dissertation. 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.

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.

University of Chicago PhD students from any discipline who meet the following criteria are eligible to apply:

  • matriculated after Autumn 2016
  • admitted to candidacy by April 1, 2025 and should be at an advanced stage of writing their dissertation
  • CSRPC Fellowship: a dissertation topic that has issues related to race or racialized groups as its central focus
