Robin Wright Graduate Fellowship
The fund will support research by a graduate student from the Islamic World or Africa matriculating in the Rackham Graduate School.
The Center for the Education of Women announces the Robin Wright Graduate Fellowship with a grant of up to $4,000. The fund will support research by a graduate student from the Islamic World or Africa matriculating in the Rackham Graduate School.
Preference will be given to graduate students pursuing research in international and global issues in the contemporary period, with a focus on political, economic or societal change as well as new solutions to issues arising from the spread of globalization. Particular attention will be given to research abroad. Also, in order to ensure that as broad a range of people as possible is able to do research on international topics, women graduate students and students intending to return to their home countries to contribute their scholarly and professional skills are particularly encouraged to apply.
To apply, please submit a packet that contains the following:
• An approximately two page proposal that describes the objectives and methods of the planned research project
• A project budget, itemizing all costs and showing how the Wright funds would fit into the budget and how additional costs, if any, would be covered
• A letter of support from a faculty advisor (download form at http://www.cew.umich.edu/PDFs/Robin%20Wright%20Faculty%20Reference%20Cover.pdf). The letter may be submitted separately.
