John E. Rovensky Fellowship in International Business or Economic History

The University of Illinois Foundation announces the John Rovensky Fellowship in International Business or Economic History, providing a $11,500 award for doctoral students writing dissertations in non-US business or economic history. The fellowship, made possible through the generosity of the late John E. Rovensky, supports advanced doctoral students who have made significant progress in their research and are moving from intermediate research stages to final stages of writing and revision. The fellowship is available to students enrolled in doctoral programs at accredited colleges or universities in the United States, with dissertations based on in-depth archival research on any period and geographic area outside the United States. The awardee may use the fellowship concurrently with other funding sources, including grants or teaching assignments. Recipients are expected to acknowledge the fellowship in scholarly work and contribute a short video of their research to be published by the University of Illinois. Preference is given to applicants preparing for careers in teaching and research who will have completed all graduate coursework prior to fall 2025.
