Alumni Research Award

Due to the generosity of a number of loyal graduates of Dartmouth's graduate programs, the Alumni Fund and the School of Graduate and Advanced Studies have received donations which have been placed into a special alumni graduate fund.
Funds for Thesis Research

The School of Graduate and Advanced Studies, through the generosity of our alumni, has funds available to support the research of our current graduate students.

Currently enrolled graduate students, engaged in thesis research at Dartmouth College can apply for an Alumni Research Award during the spring term of each calendar year. (Deadline: May 5) Please submit the application to the School of Graduate and Advanced Studies, 37 Dewey Field Road, Suite 6062, room 437.
The maximum amount of each award will be limited to $1,000.00, but no more than $500.00 of this can be used for travel. A detailed budget is required.
Requests for travel to attend a scientific meeting or to purchase computers, peripherals, or other forms of laboratory equipment will not be considered.

Application Requirements

Your application must include the following:

A letter of support from your advisor
A one-page description of your research
A detailed budget proposal for the award funds. The award is designed to enhance your thesis research activity, and as such, your request must propose something that you might not readily accomplish otherwise.
Some examples are: provide access to a library archive to examine an original manuscript; provide access to a specialized item of equipment not available at Dartmouth; provide payment for additional subjects; perform field work at a distant site that might add an interesting perspective to data collected from your existing, local field site(s).

Recipients of Graduate Alumni Research Awards will be required to submit to the School of Graduate and Advanced Studies a one page synopsis of the activity they conducted with their award within 30 days of completion of their funded project. You can see a list of previous award recipients, and read about their work, here.

Montgomery House- Rope Ferry Road, across from Dick's House



For the spring term, the Montgomery Fellows Program has invited two French authors – Édouard Louis and Didier Eribon – whose autobiographical novels have become huge bestsellers far beyond Europe. Against the backdrop of resurgent nationalist populism, Eribon’s Returning to Reims and Louis’ The End of Eddy have been translated into more than 25 languages.

Brought up in working-class families, their stories reflect on the recent history of French politics, on the class system in France, on the role of the educational system in class identity, on the way both class and sexual identities are formed, on the widespread misogynist, racist, xenophobic, and homophobic attitudes, and, finally on the shifting voting patterns of the working class, which changed its allegiance from the far left to the far right of Marine Le Pen’s National Front.

Didier Eribon, Professor of Sociology at the University of Amiens, is well known for his groundbreaking biography, Michel Foucault, first published in 1989. He is also the author of Insult and the Making of the Gay Self, as well as numerous other books of critical theory.

Only 24 years old, Édouard Louis is the author of two bestselling autobiographical novels – The End of Eddy and History of Violence – and the editor of a volume of essays on the sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. With philosopher Geoffroy de Lagasnerie, he co-authored a widely debated “Manifesto for an Intellectual and Political Counteroffensive,” published in Le Monde and in the Los Angeles Review of Books. His short visit to campus last spring was a huge success among the students.
