Application materials are available online at:
http://www.aaanet.org/committees/minority/minapp.pdf

The American Anthropological Association invites minority doctoral
candidates in anthropology to apply for a full-year dissertation
fellowship of $10,000. This program is designed to demonstrate the
Association's support for promising minority graduate students in
anthropology and to demonstrate its commitment to the long-range goal of
increasing diversity in the discipline. The implications of the
awardee's research to issues and concerns of the U.S. historically
disadvantaged populations, relevant service to the community and future
plans are of specific concern in the review process. Dissertation topics
in all areas of the discipline are welcome.

An applicant must be:
(1) a U.S. citizen;
(2) a member of a historically underrepresented ethnic minority group,
including, but not limited to, African Americans, Alaskan Natives,
American Indians or Native Americans, Asian Americans, Latino/as,
Chicano/as, and Pacific Islanders;
(3) enrolled in a full-time, academic program leading to a doctoral
degree in anthropology at the time of application and admitted to degree
candidacy before the dissertation fellowship is awarded; and
(4) a member of the American Anthropological Association.
