Institute for Citizens and Scholars Dissertation Fellowship in Women’s Studies

The Women’s Studies Fellowships are provided to Ph.D. candidates at institutions in the United States who will complete their dissertations during the fellowship year. The most competitive applications include not only a clear, thorough, and compelling description of the candidate’s work, but also evidence of an enduring interest in and commitment to women’s issues and scholarship on women and gender. 

• Fellows receive $5,000 to be used for expenses connected with completing their dissertations, such as research-related travel, data work/collection, and supplies. 
• Eligible proposals from applicants in the humanities and social sciences will have as a central focus on the study of women and/or gender.
