The Graduate School has awarded Summer Dissertation Fellowships to 34 doctoral candidates to facilitate progress toward completion of their dissertation. Each $4,000 award provides funding to offset living or research-related expenses, allowing candidates to fully focus on completing their degrees.
The fellowships were initiated to provide funding to help doctoral candidates complete their dissertations in a timely manner and to address the need for more summer funding opportunities. The funding is provided through the Invest Syracuse initiative to strengthen support for graduate education and research.
“The Summer Dissertation Fellowships are one part of a broader set of initiatives to support our doctoral students in completing their degrees in a timely fashion,” says Associate Provost and Graduate School Dean Peter Vanable. “The 2021 recipients represent the broad range of disciplines and scholarship that Syracuse University is known for.”
The following doctoral candidates—listed with their program—were awarded fellowships:
