Women's Studies Fellowships

The Alice Paul Center and Women's Studies Program will offer two dissertation fellowships for Penn SAS graduate students at the dissertation stage for the 2004-2005 academic year. Applicants must be working on a dissertation related to women or gender. Those who have already received a GSAS dissertation fellowship, are not eligible for the WSTD/APC fellowship. Prior unsuccessful applicants for the APC/WSTD fellowship may apply again. The fellowships will offer tuition plus a stipend and benefits comparable to that offered with the GSAS dissertation fellowships for 2004-2005.

Please submit four (4) copies of the application package to the Alice Paul Center, 411 Logan Hall/6304, by Friday, January 23, 2004.

Applications must include:

Dissertation proposal, no more than 7 pages, double-spaced.
Brief research/writing plan for 2004-05
Curriculum vite
Penn Course transcript (unofficial is fine)
Three (3) letters of recommendation, including one from dissertation advisor and one from department or graduate chair. Letters must be signed, hard copies sent to APC by the recommender or letters in sealed and signed envelopes submitted along with the application package.
