Henry Kaufman Financial History Fellowship Program - Dissertation Fellowships
The Henry Kaufman Financial History Fellowship Program supports research by emerging scholars in financial history, broadly conceived. Fellowships include monetary awards as well as support from the BHC community of scholars, which for decades has prioritized engagement with graduate students and early career researchers. The program is endowed by a generous gift from renowned economist Dr. Henry Kaufman (Henry & Elaine Kaufman Foundation, Inc).
The program offers three kinds of awards: Research fellowships, Dissertation fellowships, and Post-Doctoral fellowships. To be eligible, applicants must be enrolled in or graduates of an accredited doctoral program.
Henry Kaufman Financial History Dissertation Fellowships provide up to $40,000 for up to twelve months to support PhD candidates writing a dissertation that engages meaningfully with financial history in any time period or region of the world. Award recipients are expected to devote full time during their fellowship tenure to the proposed project. The fellowship period must begin within twelve months of notification of the award, unless granted an extension by the Selection Committee.
