Henry Belin du Pont Dissertation Fellowships

Description

Henry Belin du Pont Dissertation Fellowships are designed for graduate students who have completed all course work for the doctoral degree and are conducting research on their dissertation. We invite applications from Ph.D. candidates whose research on important historical questions would benefit from use of Hagley's research collections. Applications should demonstrate superior intellectual quality, present a persuasive methodology for the project, and show that there are significant research materials at Hagley pertinent to the dissertation. Use of Hagley's collections may take place prior to application for the dissertation fellowship. Potential applicants are strongly encouraged to consult with Hagley staff prior to submitting their dossier. A dissertation proposal of any length or a project description indicating the scope of the research and the existing scholarship with which the applicant engages is required. A summary of the Hagley research materials that the applicant will use in their dissertation and how they are pertinent to their project must also be submitted. This is optional but applicants may also include a writing sample if they feel it will help the committee to evaluate their dissertation research. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
