Description
The Economic History Association’s Graduate Dissertation Fellowships support dissertation research in economic history by students with approved topics who are progressing toward completion. Funding for this cycle is intended for the 2027–28 academic year. The program brings together four fellowship types reflecting different sources of support, with a single application covering consideration for all four.
The Cambridge University Press Dissertation Fellowship is supported by an endowment established through a partnership between the press and the association to develop future leaders in economic history worldwide. The Sokoloff Fellowship honors Kenneth Sokoloff’s contributions to economic history and his commitment to students entering the field. It is supported by a gift from his estate and other individual contributions.
