The fellowship is given annually to a student who shows promise of advancing scholarship in the field of political and social theory as well as historic studies of society and politics. Please see Professor Bendix's biography for more information on this well-loved professor. The Reinhard Bendix Fellowship Fund is designed to carry his tradition of scholarship into the future by providing financial assistance to graduate students. Funds will not be available until the student has advanced to candidacy. Students must be currently registered with the Graduate Division or on approved travel status.
Students are eligible for support regardless of previous fellowships from other sources.
The successful candidate will be consulted regarding other funding sources before the award is granted. Under most circumstances, dissertation fellows are expected to be resident at Berkeley for the tenure of the award, except those who must conduct research away from the Bay Area. See separate page on Institute Dissertation Application Procedure. April 2, 2001. This deadline is firm.
