Economic History Association (EHA) – Graduate Dissertation Fellowships

1 year

Funds awarded during this application cycle are intended to provide support during the 2024-25 academic year.

There are four different types of dissertation fellowships, with names reflecting the source of funding for the fellowship.

An applicant files a single application to be considered for all four types and can receive at most one fellowship.

The four types of awards are:

1. EHA Graduate Fellowships ($10,000)

2. EHA Fellowship for students outside traditional economics departments ($10,000)

3. Cambridge University Press Dissertation Fellowship ($10,000) This award is made possible through an endowment created through a partnership between Cambridge University Press and the Economic History association signaling a commitment to the development of the future leaders of the field, whose research will direct the study of economic history throughout the world.

4. Sokoloff Fellowship ($17,500) Thanks to a generous gift from Ken Sokoloff’s estate and other individual contributions, this fellowship honors the major contributions of Kenneth Sokoloff to economic history, and in particular his care and concern for the many students he introduced to economic history.

These fellowships are for students with approved topics and making progress towards completion are eligible for Dissertation Fellowships. Students at early stages of dissertation development are not eligible for fellowship support. Funds awarded during this application cycle are intended to provide support during the 2024-25 academic year.
