AERA Minority Dissertation Fellowship in Education Research
Now accepting applications
Deadline: November 1, 2016
The American Educational Research Association (AERA) is pleased to announce the AERA
Minority Dissertation Fellowship in Education Research. The Council of the AERA
established the fellowship program to provide support for doctoral dissertation research,
to advance education research by outstanding minority graduate students, and to improve
the quality and diversity of university faculties. This fellowship is targeted for members
of racial and ethnic groups historically underrepresented in higher education (e.g.,
African Americans, Alaskan Natives, American Indians, Asian Americans, Hispanics or
Latinos, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islanders). This program offers doctoral
fellowships to enhance the competitiveness of outstanding minority scholars for academic
appointments at major research universities. It supports fellows conducting education
research and provides mentoring and guidance toward the completion of their doctoral
studies.
Award Period
Each fellowship award is for 1 year, beginning July 1, 2017 or later, and is nonrenewable.
This fellowship program is intended as a write-up fellowship. Fellowships are awarded for
doctoral dissertation research conducted under faculty sponsorship in any accredited
university in the United States.
Eligibility
Eligible graduate students for the AERA Minority Dissertation Fellowship in Education
Research will be at the writing stage of their dissertation by the beginning of the
fellowship. The dissertation study should focus on an education research topic such as
high stakes testing; ethnic studies/curriculum; tracking; STEM development; measurement of
achievement and opportunity gaps; English language learners; or bullying and restorative
justice. Applicants can come from graduate programs and departments in education research,
the humanities, or social or behavioral science disciplinary or interdisciplinary fields,
such as economics, political science, psychology, or sociology.
Fellows are required to provide proof of advancement to candidacy at the beginning of the
award period. Applicants must work full-time on their dissertations and course
requirements and should be in the writing stage of their dissertation. This program is
open to U.S. citizens and permanent residents who are members of racial and ethnic groups
historically underrepresented in higher education, specifically, African Americans,
Alaskan Natives, American Indians, Asian Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, and Native
Hawaiian or Pacific Islanders.
