Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad Fellows

The Fulbright-Hays fellowship funds dissertation research in a non-Western country. For 20 consecutive years, UChicago graduate students have won more Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad fellowships than students at any other U.S. educational institution. Please note: The 2011 Doctoral Dissertation Research Awards were canceled due to federal budget cuts. Names listed for 2011 reflect the Fulbright Mellon grants awarded to Fulbright-Hays DDRA applicants who were eligible and selected for support through the Mellon Foundation.
