These fellowships are intended for Stanford doctoral students of unusual promise and achievement who are just beginning work on their dissertation. Applicants who have completed their course requirements and are ready to devote full time to developing their research are preferred. Students normally hold these fellowships in their third or fourth year of graduate work.

Applicants need not belong to humanities departments as traditionally defined, but their academic aims should be consonant with those of faculty and students in cultural, historical, linguistic, literary, artistic or philosophical disciplines.

NOTE: Pre-Doctoral Fellowships will not be offered in 2003-04 pending evaluation of the program.
