Charlotte W. Newcombe Doctoral Dissertation Fellowships
Newcombe fellowships are awarded annually to students enrolled in doctoral programs in the humanities and social sciences at graduate schools in the U.S.  The fellowships are designed to encourage original and significant study of ethical or religious values in all fields of the humanities and social sciences.

Dissertations may be in any field and consider any time period, but should be concerned with continuing problems and questions of human life. Connections should be made between specific topics and wider religious or ethical questions. The award provides $25,000 for a 12 month period of dissertation writing and all other requirements must be met before applying.  You may apply only once.
