The Graduate School’s Emerging Leaders Program is a 2 ½-day intensive program that assists graduate students in strengthening their personal leadership capabilities, exploring professional development opportunities, and interacting with their colleagues from across campus. It is designed for students who plan to complete the terminal degree in their field in the next one to two years of a doctoral program or the last year of a master’s program. The program is offered at no cost to them except for their time, commitment, and transportation to the retreat site during Fall Break.

Program Overview

The Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad (DDRA) Fellowship Program provides opportunities to doctoral candidates to engage in full-time dissertation research abroad in modern foreign languages and area studies. The program is designed to contribute to the development and improvement of the study of modern foreign languages and area studies in the United States.

Program Features

The institutional project period is 18 months. Students may request funding for a period of no less than six months and no more than 12 months. Funds support travel expenses to and from the residence of the fellow and the country or countries of research; maintenance and dependents(s) allowances based on the location of research for the fellow and his or her dependent(s); an allowance for research- related expenses overseas; and health and accident insurance premiums.

Eligible Applicants

Institutions of higher education (IHEs) in the United States are eligible to apply for grants under this program.

The IHE then submits all eligible individual student applications with its grant application to the U.S. Department of Education.

A student is eligible to receive a fellowship if he or she:

• Is a citizen, national, or permanent resident of the United States
• Is a graduate student in good standing at an IHE
• Is admitted to candidacy in a doctoral degree program in modern foreign languages and area studies at that institution when the fellowship period begins
• Is planning a teaching career in the United States upon completion of his or her doctoral program
