Graduate Dissertation Fellowships

The Economic History Association offers graduate dissertation fellowships for students with approved dissertation topics who are making progress toward completion. These fellowships are intended to provide support during the academic year for students conducting research in economic history. Students at early stages of dissertation development are not eligible. Applicants file a single application to be considered for all four types of fellowships and can receive at most one award. The four fellowship types include: EHA Graduate Fellowships ($10,000), EHA Fellowship for students outside traditional economics departments ($10,000), Cambridge University Press Dissertation Fellowship ($10,000) created through an endowment partnership signaling commitment to developing future leaders in economic history, and the Sokoloff Fellowship ($17,500) honoring Kenneth Sokoloff's contributions to economic history and his mentorship of students.
