The Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation is now accepting proposals for the
2010 Kauffman Dissertation Fellowship Program.

The Kauffman Foundation supports doctoral students through the Kauffman
Dissertation Fellowship Program. The Foundation will award up to 15
Dissertation Fellowship grants of $20,000 each to Ph.D., D.B.A. or other
doctoral students for the support of dissertations in the area of
entrepreneurship. This competitive program is open to students seeking
doctoral degrees from accredited U.S. institutions of higher education.
This program is intended for students who are in the process of
formulating their dissertation proposals as well as doctoral candidates
with recently approved dissertation proposals. It is expected that
applicants will complete their dissertation during the 2010-2011
academic year. The deadline for this year's program is 7:00 PM Central
Time on Wednesday, September 23, 2009.

This initiative will help launch a cohort of world-class scholars into
this young and exciting field, thus laying a foundation for future
scientific advancement. We hope that the findings generated by this
effort will be translated into knowledge with immediate application for
policy makers, educators, service providers and entrepreneurs.
