National Academy of Education/Spencer Dissertation Fellowship Program

About National Academy of Education/Spencer Dissertation Fellowship Program

Through the dissertation fellowship, the National Academy of Education (NAEd) and Spencer seek to encourage a new generation of scholars from a variety of fields to undertake research relevant to the improvement of education. The NAEd and Spencer believe scholarly insight from many different disciplines can contribute to an understanding of education as a fundamental human endeavor and advance our ability to address significant current issues in education. Therefore, the NAEd/Spencer Dissertation Fellowship supports individuals whose dissertations show potential for bringing fresh and constructive perspectives to the history, theory, or practice of formal or informal education anywhere in the world.

Basic selection criteria are as follows:

• Importance of the research question to education.
• Quality of the research approach and feasibility of the work plan.
• Applicant’s future potential as a researcher and interest in educational research.

Who can participate?

The NAEd/Spencer Dissertation Fellowship Program is open to all eligible applicants regardless of race, national origin, religion, gender, age, disability, or sexual orientation.

Applicants need not be citizens of the United States; however, they must be candidates for the doctoral degree at a graduate school within the United States.

Applicants should have a demonstrated record of research experience in education.

Fellows may not accept employment other than as described in the application, nor may they accept other awards without prior approval (including awards from NAEd or Spencer) that would provide duplicate benefits.

Applications must be made by the individual applying for the fellowship; group applications will not be accepted.
