Summer Funding and Professional Development 2025
Below are GSAS's Summer 2025 funding opportunities.
Please note that these awards are highly competitive and that we cannot fund every deserving application. As always, we encourage you to apply to multiple sources of funding (internal and external). Please connect with the GSAS Professional Development team to explore additional options.
Please note the following: GSAS students in the Divisions of Creative Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences who apply for and receive summer funding from the university either through GSAS, the Mandel Center for the Humanities, one of the Centers or another internal source can receive a maximum $6000 per summer in an effort to share (limited) institutional resources across more students. If a student in the Division of Science receives funding from one of GSAS's summer opportunities, GSAS will consult with the appropriate DivSci Grad Affairs contacts about the summer funding sources.
GSAS/Mandel Dissertation Summer Writing Awards
Deadline: April 7, 2025
Eligibility: All GSAS PhD students who are ABD (prospectus/proposal approved)
The Mandel Center for the Humanities and GSAS are excited to be able to fund a 10-week writing accountability group for Brandeis doctoral students who are currently writing their dissertations. Each participant will receive a $2,000 lump sum stipend (no reimbursement submissions necessary) to help carve out time and space for their writing.
Questions can be directed to Professor Ulka Anjaria and Assistant Dean Alyssa Canelli.
