AIR/IES-NCES Fellowships for Graduate Study

The Association for Institutional Research, with funding from the Institute of Education Sciences and the National Center for Education Statistics, offers fellowships for graduate study advancing or leading to careers in institutional research, thereby increasing the national level of expertise of institutional research officers and the data that they produce. Specific program goals are to have more people better trained in IR and completing advance degrees. Fellowships will be awarded for credit-bearing graduate study at various degree levels, with different levels of funding. The 2008 deadline for application is March 14th, 2008. The program will award individual fellowships for up to $10,000 annually and can be used at any qualified program in a US institution. Award funds may be used for tuition, fees and other educational and living expenses while enrolled in a graduate program. Visit http://www.airweb.org for proposal information and guidelines.
