Dissertation Fellowship for Historically Underrepresented Persons in Anthropology

The annual Dissertation Fellowship for Historically Underrepresented Persons in Anthropology (formerly the Minority Dissertation Award) is intended to encourage members of racialized minorities to complete doctoral degrees in anthropology, thereby increasing diversity in the discipline and/or promoting research on issues of concern among minority populations. Dissertation topics in all areas of the discipline are welcome. Doctoral students who require financial assistance to complete the write-up phase of the dissertation are urged to apply. This fellowship is administered by the American Anthropological Association and provides financial support to help doctoral candidates from historically underrepresented racial minority groups complete their dissertations in any subfield of anthropology.
