Welcome 2018 NAEd/Spencer Dissertation and Postdoctoral Fellows

May 17, 2018

The National Academy of Education (NAEd) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2018 NAEd/Spencer Postdoctoral and Dissertation Fellowships.  The fellowships provide funding and professional development to early-career researchers whose projects address critical issues in the history, theory, or practice of formal or informal education, at the national and international levels.

The NAEd/Spencer Postdoctoral Fellowship provides $70,000 to early-career scholars to focus on their research and attend professional development retreats. This year, the 30 postdoctoral fellows were selected from a pool of 200 applicants.

The 35 NAEd/Spencer Dissertation Fellows — selected from a pool of roughly 400 applicants — will receive $27,500 for a period of up to two years to complete their dissertations and also attend professional development retreats.

According to NAEd President Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings, “The NAEd/Spencer Fellowship Programs cultivate the next generation of education scholars by funding their research projects and providing resources to strengthen their research and research training, including mentorship from NAEd members.  We consider these fellows to be among the best in their respective fields, and I look forward to working with them in the coming year.”
