Fellowships
ICGC offers fellowships providing financial support for graduate students at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. See below for links to guidelines and application forms. Nominees should have backgrounds and interests which identify them as outstanding students who are clearly committed to the interdisciplinary study of the global south in the context of global change. We encourage nomination of exceptionally capable students especially but not only from the global south and U.S. communities of color.
ICGC Scholars Fellowships, for incoming students, typically give first-and often fourth-year fellowship support, and the student's home department provides second-and third-year assistantship support. Please note that consideration for ICGC Scholars Fellowships will only be given to candidates nominated by their academic departments and that award terms vary.
ICGC/Mellon Scholars Fellowships, are funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and is a collaboration between ICGC and the Center for Humanities Research (CHR) at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) in Cape Town, South Africa. ICGC-Mellon Scholars Fellowships support graduate students whose research interests emphasize humanistic and interpretive social science perspectives. Additionally, nominees are expected to conduct their dissertation research in Southern Africa.
In addition to these fellowships, ICGC offers small grants for its currently affiliated students. ICGC Pre-dissertation Research Grants and International Internship Grants give short-term, project-specific financial support and are open only to current ICGC Scholars.
