Call for Applications: Jean Monnet Fellowship (due 12/1)

2015 Jean Monnet Graduate Fellowship

CALL FOR PROPOSALS
DEADLINE: December 1, 2014 by 5:00 PM

The Center for European Studies and the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies are offering students summer grants of $5,000 to work on issues of European integration, broadly defined as the contemporary and historical processes of integration visible in European society and culture. Student grantees will conduct research leading to the writing of a paper on a relevant topic of their choosing.

It is expected that during the spring and/or summer of 2015 the grantees, in consultation with their faculty advisor(s), will devote at least twelve weeks of full-time work to their projects. This is not a travel grant.

2015 fellows will be strongly encouraged to attend the European Studies Proseminar (EURO 600) in Winter 2015 or Winter 2016; and to contribute to selected outreach activities organized by CES at local high schools, colleges, and universities.

Students in professional schools and graduate programs are eligible to apply. The fellowship is limited to returning students; students in the last year of terminal degree programs are not eligible.

Applicants should submit the 2015 Jean Monnet Graduate Fellowship Application (available at www.ii.umich.edu/ces) and a 2-3 page proposal describing the project they intend to carry out, including its topic, aims, method, and anticipated scholarly contribution. They should also indicate the period in which they will be conducting full-time work on their project. A letter of recommendation from a University of Michigan faculty member (preferably the student’s advisor), a current transcript (or permission for CES to electronically access it), and current CV should accompany the proposal.

Application materials in electronic form are to be submitted by December 1, 2014 to Julie Burnett, CES Academic Services Coordinator, at ces.fellowships@umich.edu.

For further information please contact Julie Burnett at ces.fellowships@umich.edu.
