Anthropology

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences invites students pursuing the Ph.D. to apply for dissertation fellowships for the spring or summer terms of 2017.  We expect up to twelve fellowships to be available, and they will provide students with a stipend of $7,000 per term plus a waiver of tuition fees.  Departments may supplement the dissertation fellowship if they wish, but the intent of the awards is to free students from the demands of a teaching assistantship so that they can complete their dissertations.  This year there will be a separate category of small awards.  These will be selected from among those who apply but do not receive the full awards and whose dissertation project can be completed with a small award.  The small awards will not include a waiver of tuition fees. 

In order to be eligible to hold a fellowship, students must have already been admitted to candidacy before January 1, 2017.  Applicants should submit proposals to their department. 

The proposals should include: 

1. Cover sheet (attached and on the web http://www.clas.ufl.edu/forms/index.html)

2.  A 1 to 2 page description (single spaced) of the dissertation project and the work to be conducted with this award. (Fellowships can also be used to fund travel to archives.)

3.  Two letters of endorsement from the faculty, with one being from the chair of the dissertation committee

One copy of the proposal must be submitted to Juanita Bagnall in the Department of Anthropology by 4:00 p.m. on September 29, 2016.

The proposals will be ranked by the Department and forwarded to CLAS by their deadline.

A CLAS faculty committee will review the proposals and awards will be announced by November 17, 2016.
