Are you in the middle stages of your dissertation and running into roadblocks? Do you need some new strategies and habits to help you finish up? Then apply for the second session of the 2020 Dissertation Write-In! The application deadline is Monday, August 3.
The application period for the second session of the 2020 Dissertation Write-In is now open. This program is open to doctoral students from all disciplines and the first session will take place Monday, September 21 through Thursday, September 24. Please note that all parts of the second session will be facilitated virtually; additional information will be sent to students who are selected to participate.
The Dissertation Write-In is a free, four-day intensive writing workshop aimed at helping Ph.D. students in the middle stages of their dissertation process. Participants will gain strategies and tools to create positive writing habits and thus become more efficient and productive writers.
You are eligible to apply if you are a Ph.D. student who:
- Has advanced to candidacy;
- Has completed a chapter of your dissertation; and
- Is committed to attending all sessions of the Write-In.
To apply, please complete the online application by Monday, August 3. For more information about the Dissertation Write-In, click here.
Please note: Each session is limited to 20 participants. As part of its efforts to provide financial support for graduate students who are engaged in short-term intensive campus programs that contribute to their development as academic professionals, the Graduate Division will provide a Professional Development Award to the participants of the Dissertation Write-In. A fellowship of $400 will be awarded to students who successfully complete all four days of the program. Note that this fellowship is available to students regardless of P-status.
Applicants who previously applied for the Dissertation Write-In but were not selected to participate will be given priority in this application cycle, as long as they continue to meet all eligibility criteria. Once these applicants are accommodated, other eligible applicants will be entered into a lottery system to fill remaining spots.
