The Economic Club Of Washington, DC Doctoral Research Fellowships 2006-2007
THE ECONOMIC CLUB OF WASHINGTON, DC
DOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS 2006-2007
DEADLINE: March 31, 2006
Amount of Awards: $10,000
The Economic Club of Washington, DC
The Economic Club of Washington was formed in recognition of the unique and critical role that Washington plays in the world economy and of the area's increasing economic diversity and importance as a center of business activity. More than 250 of the area's top business and professional leaders formed The Economic Club of Washington as a nonprofit corporation in 1986 for two primary purposes. First, it offers a forum in which prominent business and government leaders can express their views on the most important economic issues of the day and on how those issues affect the region, the nation, and the world. Second, and equally important, the Club generates and promotes a greater sense of community among business leaders, government officials, and members of the diplomatic corps.
Purpose of Award
The Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area and The Economic Club of Washington are pleased to announce that The Economic Club of Washington is offering its sixteenth annual Doctoral Research Fellowships. Two $10,000 stipends will be awarded to two doctoral-level students from Consortium institutions to support independent research in areas of interest to The Economic Club of Washington. Areas of concentration could include economics, finance, international trade or business. The award will be for the 2006-2007 academic year.
Eligibility
Students interested in applying for this fellowship must be enrolled at least half-time at a Consortium institution at the Ph.D. level. Candidates should have completed the major portion of course work necessary for the degree and preference will be given to those who are in or entering the dissertation phase of work. This research may be used to further the student's dissertation. The successful candidates must agree to devote substantial time to the research project during the 2006-2007 academic year. The fellow is required to make a presentation or a progress report regarding the research results to The Economic Club of Washington in the Spring of 2007.
