Dissertation Completion Grants
We often get requests in the CHASS research office for funding opportunities for graduate students. Here's an internal program to help students get over the hump and finish their dissertations.
=============================
Nomination Deadline: October 14, 2011
=============================
Directors of Graduate Programs,
I am requesting your assistance in nominating graduate students in your program for a Doctoral Dissertation Completion Grant for the period January 1 - June 30, 2012. This program provides both funding and intensive mentoring to doctoral candidates who are within six months of completing their dissertations. It is designed to enable candidates to focus full time on the writing of their dissertations, improving the quality of the dissertation and shortening the time required to complete the doctoral degree. This grant is for students who have demonstrated difficulties in completing the dissertation and would benefit from the intensive mentoring and the six months dedicated to writing that are provided by this program. Eligibility is limited to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. Complete information and eligibility requirements are included in the attached program description.
