2010-11 CHESTER FRITZ GRANTS FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDY & EXCHANGES

APPLICATION DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 22, 2010 at 12 noon (PST)

For 2010-11 the Graduate School will award several grants from the Chester Fritz endowment to support the international study or research by UW graduate students in the social sciences and humanities (see website for list of eligible departments). These grants are available to fund research and/or study periods of three months. The stipend will be equivalent to the stipend of a Predoc Teaching Associate II, currently, $1761 per month, and include paid health insurance and UW state tuition. No extra money is included for airfare.

In allocating these awards, PRIORITY will be given to applications with the following:

1. 1. evidence of appropriate language competence, and
2. 2. documentation of the relevance of the university or locale to the planned research, and evidence of affiliation if required to carry out the proposed project, and
3. 3. documentation of the relationship between the proposed study/research and the applicant's academic program, and
4. 4. an indication that the international experience is new, e.g, students returning to their home country or frequent visitors to the proposed site will have lower priority.
Students who have already received a Graduate School Pembroke Award or a previous Graduate School Fritz or Western Europe Travel Grant are ineligible to receive a Fritz Award.
