The European Union Studies Association (EUSA) runs the Haas Fund Fellowship, an annual competition supporting graduate student dissertation research on European Union-related topics. The fellowship is specifically devoted to doctoral dissertation research, with applicants required to demonstrate clearly how their topic relates to EU studies and to have the topic approved by their supervising professor.
The fellowship is funded entirely through contributions to EUSA’s Ernst Haas Memorial Fund for EU Studies. Established in June 2003, the fund honors Ernst B. Haas (1924–2003) and supports at least one fellowship each year for a graduate student undertaking EU-related dissertation research.
