The Committee on Southern Asian Studies announces its annual fellowship competition for summer 2013 and AY 2013-14.  COSAS fellowships will be of four kinds: dissertation write-up support; summer language study support; short-term pre-dissertation overseas travel; and other.  Each type of fellowship has a separate application.  Please select and submit the correct form, available at:

 

http://southasia.uchicago.edu/cosas_fellowships.shtml

 

Students will be allowed a maximum of seven quarters of support, including all COSAS fellowship support they have received to date.  The committee reminds students that few sources of funding may be available at the dissertation write-up stage and strongly recommends that students consider applying for six dissertation write-up fellowships and one fellowship in any of the other three categories during their careers as graduate students.  Other patterns of funding may be considered by the committee with good cause. You may request no more than at total of 3 quarters of support in any given year.

 

Priorities and Eligibility by Category

Category I: Dissertation Write-up  

Purpose: This category receives the highest priority in the allocation of funds by the committee.  It is ordinarily intended to support students in the stage following primary research during dissertation write-up.  Eligibility: Students must 1) have completed at least two years of course work in a program of graduate study directly relevant to Southern Asian studies and 2) be admitted to Ph.D. candidacy.  Students must apply annually for this support.

 

Category II: Summer Language Study

Priority and Purpose: A limited number of fellowships may be awarded in this category.  These fellowships are designed to provide or supplement support for summer language study.  Funds may be applied to programs in the U.S. or abroad.  Students must be accepted into an appropriate language study or tutorial program. Eligibility: Students must 1) have successfully completed all first year requirements in a graduate degree program prior to the commencement of the summer program and 2) be planning to continue studies at the University of Chicago during the autumn quarter following the summer program.  Students should make every attempt possible to apply for alternate sources of funding for summer language study before applying to COSAS.

 

Category III: Pre-Dissertation Overseas Travel

Priority and Purpose:  A limited number of fellowships may be awarded in this category.  This typically supports a short-term (often summer quarter) overseas trip. Eligibility: Students must 1) have completed at least two years of course work in a program of graduate study directly relevant to Southern Asian studies and must 2) also plan to continue studies at the University of Chicago during the quarter following the research period.

 

 

 

Category IV: Other

Priority and Purpose: This category receives the lowest priority.  The committee will use its discretion in reviewing the statement of purpose and strongly recommends that the student indicate that he/she has considered all possible sources of funding for the proposed project before applying to COSAS.  Eligibility: Students must 1) have completed at least two years of course work in a program of graduate study directly relevant to Southern Asian studies and 2) be planning to continue studies at the University of Chicago during the quarter following the project. 

 

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

1) COSAS grants are available to University of Chicago graduate students of any citizenship whose research deals with Southern Asia.  Southern Asia is defined by COSAS as including countries in South Asia, Southeast Asia and Tibet (TAR).  These specifically include Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, East Timor, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka; Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia (Kampuchea), Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam; and Tibet (TAR). 

2) Students should make every effort to apply for other sources of funding (e.g., Summer FLAS, SSRC grants, AIIS grants, Fulbright grants, Divisional funding). Applications that show evidence of such efforts will be looked on more favorably than those that do not.  In addition, the level of COSAS funding is subject to change based on the COSAS annual budget. 

3) COSAS must abide by the Deans of Students' decisions regarding a student's eligibility for COSAS funding.  The terms of a student's previous grant, residency status and other university guidelines may affect these decisions.  Especially note that some grants, including some types of write-up grants (e.g. Mellon, Whiting, etc.), may restrict a recipient from accepting further institutional funds.  COSAS may also consider a student's anticipated employment during the anticipated award period.   Students who have entered a fulltime academic career, for example, generally are not viewed as eligible for COSAS support.

4) We encourage applicants to contact at least one member of the Committee on Southern Asian Studies regarding their proposal.   ___________________________________________________________________________

Deadline: April 15

Duration: One year

The Martin Marty Center (MMC) of the Divinity School will appoint a set of twelve Junior Fellows for the 2013-2014 academic year.  Ph.D. candidates from the Divinity School, and Ph.D. candidates from the Division of the Humanities or the Division of the Social Sciences whose dissertation examines a topic or topics in religion, are eligible for appointment.  An application consisting of a cover letter, a CV, a copy of the dissertation prospectus, and a letter of support from the dissertation advisor about the dissertation is due to Terri Owens, Dean of Students in the Divinity School, tdowens@uchicago.edu, no later than Monday, April 15th.  The prospectus must include a statement of progress to date on the dissertation.  Awards will be announced in early May.

 

Funded initially through a generous grant from the Henry Luce Foundation, the Junior Fellows program aims to assist its members in the successful completion of their dissertation, and in the initial transition to professional life as public intellectuals.  Directed by Divinity School faculty, the program is organized around a year-long seminar which has as its main business the sharing and discussion of the dissertations.   Since the first public of the scholar is arguably the classroom, Junior Fellows teach a course on an aspect of their dissertation at a local college or university, and these experiences are also part of the shared discourse of the seminar.  In the spring of each year, the culminating event of the seminar is a day-long conference in which the Fellows share a précis of their dissertation research with a cohort of professional people who are not scholars of religion, to test their mettle in communicating complex ideas to an educated and interested audience. 

 

The seminar thus challenges students, as they complete their dissertations, to step back from the immediacies of specialized research to ask themselves, and one another, how that research will contribute to the institutions and the society in which they will pursue their scholarly vocations. 

 

Because of this agenda, successful applicants will have already made significant process in the research and writing of the dissertation and will be poised, programmatically and by disposition, to participate vigorously in all aspects of this work.  Alumni of the seminar describe the experience as having had a seminal influence on their careers.

 

Students from the Humanities or the Social Sciences receive a $4,000 stipend. 

Junior Fellows will be required to attend all seminar sessions as scheduled.

 

All questions should be directed to Terri Owens, Dean of Students in the Divinity School, at tdowens@uchicago.edu, 773-702-8217.

The Division of the Social Sciences is offering project-based research grants for academic year 2013-14, beginning with the summer quarter. The grants will support two categories of research projects: short-term projects for up to 3 months, and long-term projects for 3-12 months, concluding no later than the end of Spring Quarter 2014.

 

Deadline: Friday, April 26, 2013

 

Amount:

Short-term projects: up to $7000. Up to 10 grants will be awarded

Long-term projects: $7000-$20,000. Up to 10 grants will be awarded

 

Duration:

Short-term project: 3 months

Long-term projects: up to 12 months

 

Purpose:

These grants are intended to help defray the additional costs of research projects that advance the student's progress through the degree program. All students in the division are eligible, but preference will be given to research that supports a proposal for a dissertation, or that is part of the dissertation project after admission to candidacy. The level of the grant will be contingent on the itemized costs in the proposal. For students who hold fellowships during the grant period, living expenses will not be covered under this grant unless the research will take the student far from campus and thereby add living expenses to the cost of the project. Awardees will submit a brief report upon completion of their research grant.

 

Application:

Students must submit to the Dean of Students Office:

1. The Research Grant Application Form (see: https://socialsciences.uchicago.edu/about/dean-of-students#forms);

2. A 1500-word (maximum) essay describing the research project;

Applications and letters of recommendation can be submitted in person to Foster 107 or by email to ssd-fellowships@uchicago.edu.

Deadline: Friday, April 26, 2013  Late applications will not be accepted.

 

Amount: $3,000

 

Duration: Summer Quarter

 

The Division of the Social Sciences is offering grants that can be used for academic activities during the summer of 2013. Grants will be awarded on the basis of merit, financial need and support of progress to a major academic goal.

 

Up to 20 grants will be awarded.

 

Purpose:

The award may be used for various academic activities, including proposal or exam preparation, language study, research and dissertation write-up.
