The Center for European Studies and the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies are offering students summer grants of $5,000 to work on issues of European integration, broadly defined as the contemporary and historical processes of integration visible in European society and culture. Student grantees will conduct research leading to the writing of a paper on a relevant topic of their choosing.
It is expected that during the spring and/or summer of 2014 the grantees, in consultation with faculty advisor(s), will devote twelve weeks of full time work to their projects. This is not a travel grant.
Fellows may be invited to attend the European Studies Proseminar: Teaching European History After the Global Turn (EURO 600.001/HIST 698.001) offered in Winter 2014; and to contribute to selected outreach activities organized by CES at local high schools, colleges, and universities.
Students in professional schools and graduate programs are eligible to apply. The fellowship is limited to returning students; students in the last year of terminal degree programs are not eligible.
Applicants should submit the following:
- Jean Monnet Graduate Fellowship Application
- 2-3 page proposal describing the project, including its topic, aims, method, and anticipated scholarly contribution. Include the proposed period of full-time work on the project.
- Letter of recommendation from a University of Michigan faculty member (preferably the student’s advisor)
- Current transcript (or permission for CES to electronically access it)
- Current CV
