Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Accepting Applications for Dissertation Fellowships

The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, which assists high-achieving low-income students reach their full potential through education, is inviting applications for its Dissertation Fellowship Program.

The foundation created the dissertation fellowships for doctoral candidates who are researching, within the populations served by the foundation, factors and contexts that help students with financial need overcome personal adversity and challenging socioeconomic circumstances to excel academically.

Now in its third year, the program will award four fellowships of up to $25,000 to support advanced doctoral candidates in a variety of fields. Please note that the applicants' graduate study may be in a diverse range of academic disciplines (e.g., policy studies, economics, psychology, education), but their topic must be tied to the foundation's mission -- advancing the education of exceptionally promising students who have financial need.

All candidates must have successfully completed all pre-dissertation requirements. Although applicants must be candidates for a doctoral degree at a graduate school in the United States, they need not be U.S. citizens.
