Last week, I wrote to see if anyone knew of graduate student funding options for internet studies for US institutions that were not institution-specific. I wanted to share back. I don't know which of these fund non-US citizens. If you know of other similar programs, please let me know. There are very few fellowships that cover more than a year of graduate school and they are all very competitive. - Jacob K. Javits ($30K, up to 4 years) - Ford Foundation Diversity (ethnic minority applicants, $20K, 3 years) - NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (3 years, $30K. This is primarily for sci/tech, but they do fund some social scientists) : http://nsfgrfp.org/ - Soros Foundation (must have been naturalized in last 3 years, $20K, 3 years) http://www.pdsoros.org/forms/ Some one-time/dissertation fellowships that apply to SS/H people: - Wenner-Gren (max is I think $13K) - NSF science & technology studies (max $10K?) - NSF cultural anthropology - Charles Babbage Institute, Tomash Fellowship in the History of Information Technology ($14K) - National Women's Studies Association ($1000) - AAUW Educational Foundation, gives fellowships to women both US citizens and international students (20K grad students; 30K postdoc) - Josephine De Kármán Fellowship Trust ($22,000) - Institute for Humane Studies at George Mason ($12K, libertarian) - ACLS Mellon Dissertation Completion Fellowship ($25K) - Woodrow Wilson Charlotte Newcomb (Religious or ethical questions (interpreted broadly), $25K) - Mellon Fellowships for Dissertation Research in Original Sources ($25K) - SSRC International Dissertation Research Fellowship ($19K for diss research outside the US) - Spencer Foundation Dissertation Fellows ($25K) Other related grant options: - Fulbright: http://us.fulbrightonline.org/overview_program.html (Note: I'm not looking for postdoc funding or post-PhD fellowships... Or for institution-specific RA/TAships. I'm specifically looking for programs that fund graduate students who are getting their degrees. And, yes, I know that most US schools fund internally. And that all of the Australians and Europeans find American funding mechanisms peculiar.) ------ "taken out of context, i must seem so strange" -- ani http://www.zephoria.org/thoughts/ http://www.danah.org/ @zephoria
