Offered by the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies (ASEEES), the Cohen-Tucker Dissertation Research Fellowships provide a maximum stipend of $28,000 for doctoral students to conduct dissertation research in Russian Studies. The program is open to students in any discipline whose dissertation topics are within nineteenth to early twenty-first century Russian historical studies; in cases of equally qualified applications, some preference may be given to research on the Soviet era.

Eligibility

  • be a doctoral student at a US university
  • be a student member of ASEEES at the time of the application submission
  • have a dissertation research topic that falls within the fellowship project scope (see above), but may be in any discipline
  • have language proficiency to conduct research about Russia/the Soviet Union
  • not have previously applied for this fellowship more than once (past recipients of the Cohen-Tucker Dissertation Research Fellowship may apply for the Cohen-Tucker Dissertation Completion Fellowship, but they will not receive any preferential advantage in the competition.)
