Application Deadline: February 1st, 2025
Applications are now open for the 2025 Harry Frank Guggenheim Emerging Scholar Awards. The Harry Frank Guggenheim Emerging Scholar Awards (formerly the Harry Frank Guggenheim Dissertation Fellowships) recognize promising researchers in their final year of writing a doctoral dissertation examining a salient aspect of violence.
The award is $25,000 for one year and contributes to the support of a doctoral candidate to enable the completion of a dissertation that advances the Foundation’s research interests described above in a timely manner. They are available only to students for support during the final year of Ph.D. studies.
The award does not support doctoral research. Applicants may be citizens of any country and studying at colleges or universities in any country.
Eligibility
- Applicants for an award must be Ph.D. candidates entering the dissertation stage of graduate study.
- Usually, this means that fieldwork or other research is complete and writing has begun or will at the beginning of the award period. If analysis and writing are not far enough along for an applicant to be confident that the dissertation will be completed within the award year, an application should not be submitted.
- In some disciplines, particularly experimental fields, research and writing can reasonably be expected to be completed within the same year, and in those cases, it is appropriate to apply.
Application Procedure:
- Applicants must create an account to access the application and guidelines. The guidelines are also available through the second link below.
