-- Citizenship/Country of Applying Institution: U.S.A. Citizenship (including U.S. Territories)

-- OBJECTIVES: The primary goal of the Arnold L. Mitchem Dissertation Fellowship Program is to help increase the presence of currently underrepresented racial and cultural groups in the U.S. professoriate by supporting doctoral candidates in completing the final academic requirement, the dissertation. Mitchem Fellowships provide one year of support for two students with advanced candidacy in their doctoral programs in other U.S. universities. Fellows are to be in residence at Marquette University for the academic year (18 August-17 May) during which they teach one course in their area of specialization, interact with faculty and undergraduate students, and devote their primary energies to the completion of their dissertations. During their residence, Mitchem Fellows will participate in a mentoring process, collaborating with a senior faculty mentor in the Fellow discipline, who is appointed by the Dean.
-- Applications for the 2008-2009 Fellowships are invited for the following academic areas: Education, English, Foreign Languages and Literatures, History, Mathematics and Mathematics Education, Statistics, Computer Science, Philosophy, Political Science, Psychology, Social and Cultural Sciences, and Theology/Religious Studies.
-- ELIGIBILITY: Eligible applicants are those who: have not earned a doctoral degree at any time or in any field, are U. S. citizens, have completed all other requirements for the Ph.D., are well into the writing stage of their dissertation work, and belong to a racial-cultural group historically underrepresented in the U.S. professoriate. African American, Native American and Hispanic American candidates are especially encouraged to apply.
-- FUNDING: Marquette University Mitchem Fellows will receive financial support ($35,000 stipend, plus fringe benefits, research and travel monies) for the 2008-2009 academic year. The sponsor will further provide library privileges, office space, access to computer and clerical support equivalent to that enjoyed by regular faculty members in the department with which he or she is affiliated.
