Rackham Humanities Research Fellowship
These fellowships have been established to increase the proportion of doctoral students in the humanities and humanities-related social sciences who complete the Ph.D. and decrease the time it takes to complete the degree. Participating doctoral programs are notified in their annual Block Grant letter. Students may contact their program regarding this award. Each participating program is responsible for selection and nomination of the students and notification to the Rackham’s Finance and Fellowships team.
Deadlines:
- Fall, August 1
- Winter, December 1
- Spring/Summer, April 1
To receive funding under this program, students must achieve candidacy within three years (of their first fall or winter term enrollment as a master’s student or as a precandidate). Students are expected to complete their doctoral degree by the end of their seventh year. Those who are past their seventh year in a doctoral program are not eligible. Extensions for parental accommodation will be granted on notification to the Rackham Office of Financial Aid and Fellowships; requests for extensions for medical conditions, dependent care, etc. should be submitted to that office in writing.
