Funding to finish Ph.D dissertation
Being awarded a Quinn Fellowship is a prestigious honor given to only one or two Ph.D. students a year at 13 top universities throughout the United States. The Quinn Fellowship has a variety of characteristics that make it both desirable and highly competitive.
- Quinn Fellows are in final year of Ph.D. study; their writing year. Fellowships allow fellow to concentrate on writing and completing Ph.D. dissertation.
- Quinn Fellowship award is a stipend program matched 100% by participating universities to help cover expenses for final school year. All funds are for the support of the student. NO funds are to be shared with the Development Department of any other entity.
- Only top university graduate history departments presently participate.
- Subject matter of Ph.D. dissertation is not restricted.
- Awards have been given in Business History as well as areas of American, European, Asian and Latin American History.
- All applications for a Quinn Fellowship must be made directly to participating university graduate history departments by students enrolled at participating university. A graduate history department committee at each university selects each Quinn Fellow. The Foundation grants directly to the university, not to the individual graduate student.
- Competition for a Quinn Fellowship is keen. It has become a prestigious award for graduate history Ph.D. scholars at participating universities.
