George E. Pozzetta Dissertation Award

The Immigration and Ethnic History Society (IEHS) invites submissions for two awards of $3,500 each to help graduate students with their dissertations on U.S. immigration, emigration, or ethnic history, broadly defined. These awards are intended for graduate students in the process of researching and writing their dissertations, not for students completing and defending in 2026. The committee invites applications from any Ph.D. candidate who will have completed qualifying exams by the end of 2025. The award supports dissertation research on topics related to immigration, emigration, or ethnic history in the United States. Awardees who do not have sufficient funds to attend the IEHS banquet to receive their award will have an opportunity to request limited financial assistance from the Immigration and Ethnic History Society.
