Call for Applications: Nathanson Graduate Fellowships

In 2016-2017, the Jack & Mae Nathanson Centre on Transnational Human Rights, Crime and Security plans to award up to six Nathanson Graduate Fellowships to meritorious graduate students enrolled full-time in the Osgoode Hall Law School LLM (thesis-based or MRP) or PhD program, or in a York University masters or doctoral program.

Previous recipients of Nathanson Fellowships are eligible, but preference will be given to first-time applicants. Due to Ontario Government funding regulations, only Canadian citizens/landed immigrants who are also Ontario residents are eligible.

Nathanson Graduate Fellows will be leading doctoral or masters students with a keen interest in the activities of the Nathanson Centre and pursuing a thesis, MRP, or dissertation on a topic that falls within the Nathanson Centre mandate (see http://nathanson.osgoode.yorku.ca).

Award Values:

The fellowships are tenable during the 2016-2017 academic year. Pursuant to the funding policies of the Faculty of Graduate Studies for 2016-2017, they are valued as follows:

Masters Students: The amount of the Fellowship for Masters students is $7000, over and above any other funding received by successful applicants.
