"An invaluable resource. This is a 'must' for both graduate students and scholars interested in fellowship or grant opportunities in international affairs."—Rozanne Ridgway

DESCRIPTION

At a time of increasingly intense competition for research opportunities and access to careers in international affairs, Fellowships in International Affairs is an indispensable directory of fellowships and grants for graduate students, scholars, and practitioners alike. With nearly 200 entries, the guide offers a concise overview of traditional as well as lesser-known grants and fellowships in international security, development, international relations, and area studies.

This handy reference tool takes the guesswork out of finding and applying for research support by clarifying the qualifications, deadlines, and conditions for each grant or fellowship listed. Organized alphabetically by granting institution, the entries are also indexed by geographic focus, academic/career qualifications, and grant name. There are many helpful hints on how to apply for support and navigate the maze of competition for research opportunities. A select bibliography identifies alternate resources; and a sample cover letter, c.v., and essay "On the Art of Writing Proposals" will prove especially helpful to "first timers."
