The Graduate School is now accepting applications for the following Dissertation Completion Fellowships:
General Dissertation Completion Fellowships
These fellowships support promising students in the final year of dissertation work by enabling them to focus full time on their research and completing their program of study without the obligation of a service assignment (RA/TA/GA).
Royster Society of Fellows (SOF) Dissertation Completion Fellowships
The Royster Society of Fellows (SOF) is a select group of the most promising students from across UNC. Fellows share their research with one another at interdisciplinary seminars and participate in mentoring and leadership development activities. The SOF Dissertation Completion Fellowships are endowed through the generous gifts of many friends of the University, most notably Dr. Thomas S. and Mrs. Caroline Royster Jr.
*New for 2018-2019* The Graduate School is pleased to partner with Energy Poverty PIRE in Southern Africa to offer the EPPSA Graduate Energy Poverty Dissertation Fellowship. This one-year fellowship provides support to a final year doctoral student to conduct research on some aspect of energy poverty in the developing world. The selected fellow will also participate in bi-weekly Energy Poverty Graduate Seminar for credit. The fellow is encouraged but not required to participate in EPPSA-related fieldwork in Southern Africa and/or planned impact evaluation studies of real world energy poverty interventions.
