George E. Pozzetta Dissertation Award

Immigration and Ethnic History Society

Due December 15

The Immigration and Ethnic History Society (IEHS) invites submissions for two awards of $1,000 each to help graduate students with their dissertations on U.S. immigration, emigration, or ethnic history, broadly defined. These awards are intended for graduate students in the process of researching and writing their dissertations, not for students completing and defending in 2025. For the 2025 award, the committee invites applications from any Ph.D. candidate who will have completed qualifying exams by the end of 2024.

Eligibility
Applicants will submit the following materials to [email protected], which will reach all committee members:

• A 1500-word descriptive proposal in English discussing the significance of the work, the methodology, sources, and collections to be consulted.
• A proposed budget.
• A brief curriculum vitae.
• In addition, applicants will arrange for their major advisor to submit a supporting letter to [email protected]

Application materials and the supporting letter must be received by the submission deadline: December 15, 2024.

Awardees who do not have sufficient funds to attend the IEHS banquet to receive their award will have an opportunity to request limited financial assistance from the Immigration and Ethnic History Society.
