Medieval Academy Dissertation Grants

The Medieval Academy of America offers Dissertation Grants to support advanced graduate students writing Ph.D. dissertations on medieval topics. With grants of $2,000, recipients can offset research costs such as travel to collections and the acquisition of necessary materials. All graduate students focusing on medieval studies are eligible, but those researching late-medieval Britain should apply for the Schallek Award instead. Approval from dissertation committees is required before application.

Applicants must have received approval from their dissertation committee for their projects by the application date.
