Description
The Helen Darcovich Memorial Doctoral Fellowship is an annual award offered by the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies (CIUS) at the University of Alberta. It supports students writing dissertations on Ukrainian or Ukrainian-Canadian topics in education, history, humanities, social sciences, law, or library sciences.
The fellowship is dedicated to dissertation work rather than other components of a doctoral degree. It brings a broad range of disciplines within a shared Ukrainian studies focus, with the Ukrainian or Ukrainian-Canadian subject central to the research supported. Selection uses a points system assessing the dissertation proposal alongside references, a writing sample, academic grades, and publishing record.
