Masséna Society Dissertation Research Fellowship

The Masséna Society offers up to five Dissertation Research Fellowship Awards annually for doctoral students conducting dissertation research on topics in diplomatic, political, economic, and military history of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Eras. Winners receive $2,000 for dissertation research, with an additional $500 award available for presenting findings at a special Masséna Society panel at the Consortium on the Revolutionary Era or the Society for Military History conference. Fellows must be full-time graduate students in accredited doctoral programs with approved dissertation topics. The fellowship supports promising research that demonstrates sound knowledge of historiography, realistic research plans, and potential to make important contributions to the field. As a condition of support, recipients must present a conference paper and acknowledge the Masséna Society in their curriculum vitae and any resulting publications. The Fondation Napoléon has offered to publish successfully presented papers in their online peer-reviewed journal, Napoleonica: La Revue, if they meet quality standards.
