USA: UCLA Funding Opportunities for Doctoral Students

Overview

Doctoral Fellowships are currently available through a new eight-campus initiative for individuals who are interested in pursuing careers as educators and scholars in the field of Archival Studies and who would be entering a doctoral program in Fall 2010.

The Archival Education and Research Fellowships are aimed at strengthening doctoral-level education in Archival Studies, building the cohort of archival educators and increasing its diversity, and promoting a broad base of rigorous archival scholarship.

Before applying for the Fellowship, applicants are encouraged to review the scope of the eight participating programs and to consider applying only to those that best match their personal intellectual interests. Click here to learn further information about the participating institutions and their specializations in Archival Studies, including links to their program's homepage.

Eligibility

The Doctoral Fellowships are open to all citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. who exhibit interest in the field of Archival Studies, broadly defined, and evidence of the ability to excel as a scholar and educator in the field. Applications are particularly encouraged from individuals who are of American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino or Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander heritage.

Applicants need not have received a master's degree in an Archival Studies, LIS or other field, unless that is required by any of the participating programs to which they are applying. However, applications will be ranked based on evidence of the applicant's commitment to Archival Studies education, potential to make a strong scholarly contribution to the field of Archival Studies, and commitment to diversity within Archival Studies education and scholarship.


Award Terms

Each Fellowship will provide full tuition and annual stipends of $20,000 to Fellows for the first two years of their doctoral study at partnering academic programs. Those academic programs will provide full tuition and stipends to their Fellows for two additional years of study.

A minimum of two Doctoral Fellowships will be awarded for students who will be entering doctoral programs at participating programs in Fall 2010.

Application Process

The application process for the Doctoral Fellowships in Archival Studies is separate from the application processes of participating doctoral programs. Applications for the Doctoral Fellowships will be accepted through January 4, 2010. Applicants must also apply for admission to at least one of the eight participating doctoral programs, according to their individual deadlines and must be accepted by at least one of those programs before they can be awarded a Fellowship.

To apply, you must email the following by January 4, 2010:

a cover letter
an electronic application form
c.v.
a personal statement
a writing sample
an indication of the participating school(s) to which you have applied.

These materials should be submitted in pdf to: aeri@gseis.ucla.edu

You must also submit:
official transcripts from all institutions attended
three letters of recommendation
Transcripts and letters of recommendation must be postmarked no later than January 4, 2010 and mailed to the UCLA Center for Information as Evidence.
Applicants may be asked to participate in a telephone interview by the Application Review Committee.

Winners of the Doctoral Fellowships will be announced on or before May 14, 2010 and will begin their studies in Fall 2010.
