Dissertation Fellowship

The Dedalus Foundation Dissertation Fellowship is awarded annually to a PhD candidate at a university in the United States who is working on a dissertation related to painting, sculpture and allied arts from the twentieth century. The fellowship carries a stipend of $25,000 and is designed to support doctoral candidates who have completed all coursework and examinations and been advanced to candidacy within their departments. Recipients should be focused primarily on researching and writing their dissertations. Candidacy for the fellowship is by nomination only, with doctoral art history programs throughout the country invited to propose one nominee each September. A jury of distinguished scholars determines the fellowship recipient.
