ROBERT HOLMES TRAVEL/RESEARCH AWARD FOR AFRICAN SCHOLARSHIP
Two awards of $2,500 for summer 2010 are available for outstanding graduate students to support study and research in Africa. Doctoral student applicants should, within one year of the award, expect to complete remaining coursework and other requirements (qualifying, comprehensive and language exams). Exceptional Master’s students, proposing research contributing to their theses, are eligible to apply for departmental nomination. The awards support the research and study abroad of scholars in the humanities and social sciences and may be used for visits to research sites, such as archival resource facilities, libraries, and fieldwork locations that will be necessary for later sustained dissertation research. Award recipients are expected to make a presentation of the research as part of the Africa House programming, if possible in fall 2010. Doctoral students nominated but not selected for the Holmes Award will automatically be considered for the GSAS Predoctoral Summer Fellowship, which is in the amount of $2,000. Each department in which eligible work is being conducted may nominate one student.
