The Charles N. Hanna and Margaret T. Hanna Fund Fellowships are awarded to graduate students while in Dissertation Completion Enrollment (DCE) status, prioritizing graduate students in the Humanities and Social Sciences. This highly competitive fellowship is awarded to one or two students per academic year. All graduate students are welcome to apply. Funding is intended to support students in their final year of study. The award provides financial support for students who require additional funds in order to complete their dissertation requirements in a timely manner and without significant educational debt. The Hanna Fellowship will provide one term of full DCE tuition, student health plan fees and a stipend at the standard university fellowship rate. Fellows may elect to hold the award in either the Fall (August 1 – December 31) or Spring (January 1 – May 31) as best meets their financial needs and plans for degree completion. Who can apply?Doctoral students who will be in Dissertation Completion Enrollment in the fall termStudents who exhibit significant academic merit and intellectual promise Students who demonstrate significant progress on their dissertation and anticipated degree completion within the term of the fellowship awardApplicants who have secured other university financial support for the term through IHUM, the Graduate School (e.g., Honorific, Dean’s Completion Fellowship, banked funding), their academic department, or a campus partner (e.g. Center for Human Values, PIIRS) are not eligible to apply for the Hanna Fellowship.
