The CALL Uehiro Dissertation Fellowship (PhD Students)
The CALL Uehiro Dissertation Fellowship was the original form of graduate student support established by the CALL Uehiro Program. It is open to PhD students in the College of Arts, Languages, & Letters. The purpose of the fellowship program is to assist PhD candidates at the middle-stage of their dissertation work – after defending the proposal and drafting a chapter or two – with more opportunities to enhance their research and training.
