Jean Monnet Graduate Fellowship
Students in professional schools and graduate programs are eligible to apply. The fellowship is limited to returning students. Students in the last year of terminal degree programs are not eligible.
Jean Monnet Fellows are among the best University of Michigan graduate students who focus on Europe in their research. Student grantees receive summer grants to work on issues of European integration, and are expected to conduct research and write a paper resulting from this research on a relevant topic of their choosing. Jean Monnet Fellows are active participants in European Union Center activities, often taking part in outreach activities for local high schools, colleges, and universities.
Applicants should submit 2â€Â3 page proposals describing the project they intend to carry out, including its topic, aims, method, and anticipated scholarly contribution. They should also indicate the period in which they will be conducting full time work on their project. A letter of recommendation from a University of Michigan faculty member (preferably the student’s advisor), most recent transcript, and current CV should accompany the proposal.
This is not a travel grant.
With a grant from the European Commission, the European Union Center and the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies are offering students summer grants of $5,000 to work on issues of European integration. Student grantees will conduct research and write a paper resulting from this research on a relevant topic of their choosing.
It is expected that during the spring and/or summer, the grantees will devote twelve weeks of full time work on this project with a faculty advisor. Recipients may be invited to participate in selected outreach activities organized by the European Union Center with local high schools, colleges and universities. They will also present the preliminary results of their research at a public event held in the fall.
