The Charlotte W. Newcombe Doctoral Dissertation Fellowships support the final year of dissertation writing on ethical and religious values in all fields of the humanities and social sciences. Awards are based on a rigorous national competition, with at least 21 winners who receive a stipend of $30,000. These fellowships are supported by the Newcombe Foundation and are administered by the Institute for Citizens & Scholars. Through its various fellowship programs, the Institute for Citizens & Scholars works to identify and prepare the next generation’s best minds for the nation’s most urgent needs.
