The Woodrow Wilson Dissertation Fellowship in Women’s Studies

Encourages original and significant research about women that crosses disciplinary, regional, or cultural boundaries. Previous Fellows have explored such topics as women's role in African American adult literacy, women's sports, militarism and the education of American women, the urban crisis, gender and globalization in Indian film, and the dynamics of employment and childbearing. Students in doctoral programs in any field of study at graduate schools in the United States are eligible to apply. The fellowship award must be used for research expenses such as travel, books, taping, and computer services.
