Purpose
The purpose of the John and Elizabeth Phillips Dissertation Year Fellowship is to provide doctoral students in the last year of their dissertations who might not otherwise consider careers in a residential secondary school the opportunity to gain experience of such a community while working on their dissertations. This opportunity is for rising scholars and teachers who are historically underrepresented in independent secondary schools. This year, priority consideration will be given to scholars who are researching topics related to race, identity, and culture.
Fellows in the 2022 – 2023 school year will receive a stipend of $23,500, a stipend to cover tuition and fees at their institution, and a stipend to cover health insurance at their institution. The scholar is asked to provide two online seminars per term for Academy students. The scholar may also make themselves available to students interested in and student organizations related to their fields of study.
