Discover Funding Opportunities

The Harry Frank Guggenheim Emerging Scholar Awards (formerly the Harry Frank Guggenheim Dissertation Fellowships) recognize promising graduate-student researchers in their final year of writing a doctoral dissertation examining a salient aspect of violence. The award provides $25,000 for one year and contributes to the support of a doctoral candidate to enable the completion of a dissertation that advances the Foundation's research interests in a timely manner. Eligible research topics include war, crime, terrorism, family and intimate-partner relationships, climate instability and natural resource competition, racial, ethnic, and religious conflict, political extremism and nationalism. PhD students at candidacy who are in the final stages of completing the dissertation may apply. Applicants may be citizens of any country and studying at colleges or universities in any country.
