About HFG Foundation Emerging Scholars
The Harry Frank Guggenheim Emerging Scholar Awards (formerly the Harry Frank Guggenheim Dissertation Fellowships) recognize promising researchers in their final year of writing a doctoral dissertation examining a salient aspect of violence.
Benefits of HFG Foundation Emerging Scholars
- Award Amount: $25,000 for one year.
HFG Foundation Emerging Scholars Requirements
- Applicants for an award must be Ph.D. candidates entering the dissertation stage of graduate study.
- Usually, this means that fieldwork or other research is complete and writing has begun or will at the beginning of the award period. If analysis and writing are not far enough along for an applicant to be confident that the dissertation will be completed within the award year, an application should not be submitted.
- In some disciplines, particularly experimental fields, research and writing can reasonably be expected to be completed within the same year, and in those cases, it is appropriate to apply.
