WikiSysop: /* Dissertation Fellowships */

With ongoing budget cuts at public universities and a still-disastrous job market, funding for graduate and postdoctoral research is more important than ever. Many grad students know that finding dissertation fellowships and postdocs can be a catch-as-catch-can experience, with no place where knowledge about different funding sources is really centralized. We put together this list of funding sources for historical research a while ago, so some information may not be up-to-date, but we will try to get them all as current as possible in the near future.

Please note: ''deadlines and requirements may have changed'', and applicants should always refer to the official guidelines for any grant or fellowship for definite information. Web links are embedded in many descriptions below.

Funding Opportunities for Graduate Students in History

2014-10-31T17:10:19Z

WikiSysop: /* Dissertation Fellowships */

With ongoing budget cuts at public universities and a still-disastrous job market, funding for graduate and postdoctoral research is more important than ever. Many grad students know that finding dissertation fellowships and postdocs can be a catch-as-catch-can experience, with no place where knowledge about different funding sources is really centralized. We put together this list of funding sources for historical research a while ago, so some information may not be up-to-date, but we will try to get them all as current as possible in the near future.

Please note: ''deadlines and requirements may have changed'', and applicants should always refer to the official guidelines for any grant or fellowship for definite information. Web links are embedded in many descriptions below.

Funding Opportunities for Graduate Students in History

2014-10-31T17:09:36Z

WikiSysop: /* Dissertation Fellowships */

With ongoing budget cuts at public universities and a still-disastrous job market, funding for graduate and postdoctoral research is more important than ever. Many grad students know that finding dissertation fellowships and postdocs can be a catch-as-catch-can experience, with no place where knowledge about different funding sources is really centralized. We put together this list of funding sources for historical research a while ago, so some information may not be up-to-date, but we will try to get them all as current as possible in the near future.

Please note: ''deadlines and requirements may have changed'', and applicants should always refer to the official guidelines for any grant or fellowship for definite information. Web links are embedded in many descriptions below.

Funding Opportunities for Graduate Students in History

2014-10-31T17:06:40Z

WikiSysop: /* Postdocs */

With ongoing budget cuts at public universities and a still-disastrous job market, funding for graduate and postdoctoral research is more important than ever. Many grad students know that finding dissertation fellowships and postdocs can be a catch-as-catch-can experience, with no place where knowledge about different funding sources is really centralized. We put together this list of funding sources for historical research a while ago, so some information may not be up-to-date, but we will try to get them all as current as possible in the near future.

Please note: ''deadlines and requirements may have changed'', and applicants should always refer to the official guidelines for any grant or fellowship for definite information. Web links are embedded in many descriptions below.

* provide insight from the viewpoint of doctoral candidates into how scholarly resources can be developed for access most helpfully in the future.

Funding Opportunities for Graduate Students in History

2014-10-31T17:05:29Z

WikiSysop: /* Research Travel Fellowships */

With ongoing budget cuts at public universities and a still-disastrous job market, funding for graduate and postdoctoral research is more important than ever. Many grad students know that finding dissertation fellowships and postdocs can be a catch-as-catch-can experience, with no place where knowledge about different funding sources is really centralized. We put together this list of funding sources for historical research a while ago, so some information may not be up-to-date, but we will try to get them all as current as possible in the near future.

Please note: ''deadlines and requirements may have changed'', and applicants should always refer to the official guidelines for any grant or fellowship for definite information. Web links are embedded in many descriptions below.

Funding Opportunities for Graduate Students in History

2014-10-31T17:05:17Z

WikiSysop: /* Research Travel Fellowships */

With ongoing budget cuts at public universities and a still-disastrous job market, funding for graduate and postdoctoral research is more important than ever. Many grad students know that finding dissertation fellowships and postdocs can be a catch-as-catch-can experience, with no place where knowledge about different funding sources is really centralized. We put together this list of funding sources for historical research a while ago, so some information may not be up-to-date, but we will try to get them all as current as possible in the near future.

Please note: ''deadlines and requirements may have changed'', and applicants should always refer to the official guidelines for any grant or fellowship for definite information. Web links are embedded in many descriptions below.
