The Association for Academic Women (AAW) at the University of Florida established the Madelyn Lockhart Fellowship to honor a PhD candidate who is both an outstanding researcher and who has contributed to creating a more inclusive and diverse community. One Fellowship in the amount of up to $2,000 will be awarded annually to assist in the dissertation phase of the doctoral degree.
This award was established to honor Dr. Madelyn Lockhart, who served as Dean of the Graduate School and Dean of International Studies and Programs at the University of Florida from 1985 to 1993 (and also as Associate Dean 1981 to 1985, and Assistant Dean 1973 to 1977 and 1979 to 1981). Dr. Lockhart aided women and minorities in many ways, including the implementation of this Fellowship program. A nomination can come from a faculty member or from the candidate and the candidate can be from any PhD program.
The application and instructions for the applicants, academic units, and colleges are located at the following website: http://graduateschool.ufl.edu/prospective-students/funding/fellowships/madelyn-lockhart-dissertation-fellowship/
We ask that applicants submit their completed applications to their respective departments/colleges by January 9th, 2017 so that the deadline is consistent for all applicants across campus.
The final applications will be reviewed by the AAW panel and the winner will be notified by mid-February. The award will be presented at the Annual Women’s History Month Celebration, typically held in March.
