The Charlotte Newcombe Dissertation Fellowship is an excellent opportunity for graduate students who have written dissertations which respond to and participate in deep and meaningful conversations within religion, values, and ethics. Fellows receive a $31,000 stipend to complete the writing stage of their dissertation, and it is available regardless of citizenship status.

I was privileged to sit down with Nimisha Thakur, doctoral candidated in Anthropology at SU and current Newcombe Fellow, to talk about her experience applying for and receiving this award. Her story is an inspiration, and I hope it encourages you to consider applying to this prestigious award, due November 1!
