Qualifications

Fellows in 2006 will be graduate students at US universities who have completed all phases of their study except the dissertation, are highly recommended, have well-developed dissertation projects, and make a strong case for why a fellowship will benefit their dissertation work. For fellows needing advice on their dissertations, some consideration will be given to having an appropriate advisor while at the ANU.
