Each year the Immigration and Ethnic History Society awards the George E. Pozzetta Dissertation Award. For the 2020 award, it invites applications from any Ph.D. candidate who will have completed qualifying exams by 2019, and whose thesis focuses on American immigration, emigration, or ethnic history. The award provides two grants of $1000 each for expenses to be incurred in researching the dissertation.

Applicants must submit (1) a three-page to five-page descriptive proposal in English discussing the significance of the work, the methodology, sources, and collections to be consulted; (2) a proposed budget; (3) a brief curriculum vitae. *In addition, applicants must also arrange for their major advisor to send a supporting letter directly to the committee members.

To be considered for the award, all applicants must submit their materials via email to all committee members and their advisor must send the supporting letter to all committee members by the deadline: Friday, December 20, 2019.
