Approximately 20 fellowships of $25,000 each are awarded each year by the Spencer Foundation to support doctoral candidates in a variety of fields whose dissertations promise to contribute fresh perspectives to the history, theory and practice of education.

Although the dissertation topic must concern education, graduate study may be in any academic discipline. In addition, although applicants must be candidates for the doctoral degree at a graduate school in the United States, they need not be citizens of the United States.

Applications are now being accepted and must be submitted electronically by October 27, 2010. Please visit www.spencer.org for more information.
