Description
The Cora Du Bois Charitable Trust and Harvard University’s Tozzer Library offer this fellowship to advanced PhD candidates in anthropology or related fields who are in the final stage of their dissertations. Open to Harvard and non-Harvard students, the program supports dissertation writing that would benefit from Tozzer Library’s collections and services.
Fellowship funds cover living expenses rather than research costs, helping recipients concentrate on writing without employment during the award period. The program prioritizes applicants who demonstrate a clear need for Tozzer Library resources and a reasonable expectation of completing their dissertation during the award academic year. Tozzer’s collections support work in anthropology, archaeology, and Indigenous studies.
