Ohio University Fellowships

 
 

2024-2025 Baker Peace Fellowship

The Baker Peace Fellowship is awarded through the John and Elizabeth Baker Peace Studies Program at Ohio University. It supports Ph.D. candidates in the Contemporary History Institute who focus on the study of conflict and conflict resolution. The fellowship provides a stipend to facilitate dissertation completion or research, allowing recipients to visit archives, conduct further research, or present at academic conferences. Established in the 1980s, the program aims to advance teaching and scholarship in peace studies.

 
“Some students use these fellowships to visit archives or libraries for further dissertation research. Other students use the funding to attend and present their research at academic conferences,”
— Dr. Alec Holcombe, associate professor of history and director of the Contemporary History Institute (CHI).
 

2020 & 2023 Contemporary History Institute Fellowships

During the 2020-2021 & 2023-2024 academic school years, I was awarded the Contemporary History Institute (CHI) Fellowships. The CHI program at Ohio University offers competitive fellowships to support graduate students in their research and academic pursuits. CHI students typically receive full funding through a combination of fellowships and teaching assistantships. Additionally, CHI provides financial assistance for travel and research, supporting students as they prepare their theses and dissertations.
