AERA Minority Dissertation Fellowship in Education Research
Application Deadline: Monday, November 16, 2020
Informational Webinar Thursday, September 10, 2020; 3:00pm- 4:00pm (EST)
The American Educational Research Association (AERA) announces its 2021–2022 AERA Minority
Dissertation Fellowship in Education Research competition for advanced graduate students.
The Fellowship Program seeks proposals from advanced graduate students who are from racial
and ethnic groups that are 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 provides mentoring and funding support to
develop research skills and conduct studies in education related fields and topics.
Applicants can come from graduate programs and departments in education research, the
humanities, or social or behavioral science disciplinary or interdisciplinary fields, such
as cultural studies, economics, history, political science, psychology, public policy, or
sociology.
The Fellowship Program aims to provide support for doctoral dissertation research, to
advance education research by outstanding minority graduate students, and to enhance these
students competitiveness for academic appointments at major research universities. It
supports fellows conducting education research and provides mentoring, capacity building
activities, and guidance toward the completion of their doctoral studies.
