Walter Jackson, Program Director for the Fulbright-IIE Program in New York, will be hosting an information Session at Princeton to provide an overview of the Fulbright-IIE Program for U.S. Students and to address your specific questions.

The Fulbright Program awards fellowships to recent college graduates, alumni, and graduate students, in over 140 countries. Students can apply beginning in the fall of their senior year to undertake academic research projects, gain NGO or clinical experience, teach English in schools, or, in a very limited number of cases, enroll in a one year master’s program. For this Fulbright program, you must be a U.S. citizen. Please review the Fulbright website for more details: http://us.fulbrightonline.org/.

Mellon International Dissertation Research Fellowship (IDRF) Presentation

Thursday, September 27, 2012

Representatives from the Social Science Research Council will be presenting information on the Mellon International Dissertation Research Fellowship (IDRF) on Thursday, September 27^th at 4:30 p.m. in Robertson Hall, room 015. To register, please go to http://mellonidrfpresentation.eventbrite.com.

The Mellon International Dissertation Research Fellowship (IDRF) offers nine to twelve months of support to graduate students (regardless of citizenship) in the humanities and humanistic social sciences who are enrolled in PhD programs in the United States and conducting dissertation research on non-US topics. Students must be at the research stage of their dissertation. Eighty fellowships are awarded annually. Fellowship amounts vary depending on the research plan, with a per-fellowship average of $20,000. The fellowship includes participation in an SSRC-funded interdisciplinary workshop upon the completion of IDRF-funded research.

Applicants from select disciplines within the humanities (Art History, Architectural History, Classics, Comparative Literature, Drama/Theater, Film Studies, Literature, Performance Studies, Philosophy, Political Theory, and Religion) are welcome to request three or more months of funding for international on-site dissertation research (in combination with US-based research, for a total of nine to twelve months of funding). All other applicants (for instance, those in Anthropology, Geography, History, Political Science, and Sociology, among others) must request nine to twelve months of on-site, site-specific dissertation research with a minimum of six months of research outside of the United States.

Students from these select humanities areas are strongly encouraged to attend this information session and to apply. More information about this fellowship can also be found at http://www.ssrc.org/fellowships/idrf-fellowship/.
