Center for European Studies Graduate Summer Research Grants 2014
Maxwell Graduate and Doctoral Students

The Center for European Studies of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs, in the Maxwell School of Syracuse University, announces it will grant awards to graduate students at Syracuse University to support summer field research for M.A. thesis or doctoral research projects in Europe.  The purpose of the award is to provide students the opportunity to gather preliminary data, make contacts, map topics, and increase competitiveness of future proposals for funding. The awards are competitive and proposals are judged on the basis of (i) quality of the proposed research, (ii) organization and thoughtfulness of the proposal, and (iii) appropriateness and feasibility of the research plan in relation to the student’s background and qualifications.

We anticipate award amounts will range from $500-$1,000.

Please see our application guidelines attached. Printed guidelines are also available at The Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs, 346 Eggers Hall.
