Carmen Brock Fellowship, Department of History, University of Toronto

The Carmen Brock Graduate Fellowship (originally established in 1998) is awarded on an annual basis for the primary purpose of serving as an admissions award to successful applicants who come to the University of Toronto from postsecondary academic institutions in the Caribbean islands, Belize, Guyana, Surinam or sub-Saharan Africa in order to study the history of these regions at the University of Toronto. The total value of the Fellowship is $10,000 CAD, normally to be disbursed over two years in the case of MA students, and over four years in the case of PhD candidates.

The Department of History has a long and distinguished tradition of research in the fields of African and Atlantic World scholarship and we strongly encourage applicants who meet the Fellowship criteria to apply. Please be advised that the recipient of the award will be selected by the Carmen Brock Fellowship Committee from among successful applicants to the graduate history program.

Documentation: All successful applications to the graduate history program from applicants who are eligible for the Carmen Brock Fellowship will be forwarded to the Carmen Brock Fellowship Committee. It would be helpful if applicants to the graduate history program indicated their eligibility for the Fellowship in their statement of purpose. No separate documentation is required.  Applications to the graduate program are made online by January 15th, 2012.  See https://apply.sgs.utoronto.ca.
