Lumina Foundation for Education and the Association for the Study of Higher Education Announce Fellowship Program
Lumina Foundation for Education and the Association for the
Study of Higher Education Announce Fellowship Program
With support from the Lumina Foundation for Education, the Association for the Study
of Higher Education announces the
ASHE/Lumina Foundation Fellowship Program.
The key objective of this initiative is to promote innovative
scholarship by creating an intergenerational community of
scholars who will examine social, institutional, and policy
barriers to opportunity and student success. The grant will fund
eight to ten dissertation fellowships a year for a three-year
period.
Fellowships in the amount of $14,000 each will support
dissertation research on the broad topics of financial aid,
student retention and success, and adult learners and learning.
The fellowships will support up to one year of activity that will
be conducted through the students’ home universities and can be
used to support costs of supplying data, dissemination of project
results, travel, tuition, and salary for the fellows.
Doctoral students affiliated with any accredited doctoral program
may submit a proposal. The program welcomes applications from
students in higher education, economics, sociology, and other
fields. Students in doctoral programs outside the United States
may apply if their study is about student access and success in
the U.S.
Applicants for the fellowship must have completed their course
work, successfully passed required qualifying examinations, and
have their dissertation proposals accepted by their institutions
by May 10, 2007.
Visit the ASCHE Web site for complete program information and
application requirements.
