Gilbert Moore Fellowships,
Baldy Pre-Dissertation and Dissertation Fellowships for JD &
PhD Students
The Baldy Center screens
and nominates recipients of the prestigious Gilbert Moore Fellowship,
available to outstanding students pursuing a JD and PhD degree
simultaneously. A total of four JD and PhD candidates are supported
in a given year by this fellowship, which provides a stipend of
$20,000 and a tuition scholarship. Depending on available funding,
additional students may be awarded a one-year Baldy Pre-Dissertation
Fellowship, which provides the same benefits as the Moore. The
Moore fellowship may be renewed for up to a total of four years,
with the Baldy Center taking over support in the fifth year of
study by providing a Baldy Dissertation Fellowship. The Baldy
Dissertation Fellowship provides the same level of support as
the Moore Fellowship, i.e. $20,000 per year and a tuition scholarship.
Only recipients of the Moore or Baldy Pre-Dissertation Fellowship
are eligible to apply for the Baldy Dissertation Fellowship.
Students can request
application materials from the Baldy Center or download them here;
but applicants will not be considered until they have been accepted
for law and graduate study by the admissions officers in their
JD and PhD programs. After acceptance for law and graduate study
has been confirmed, the Baldy Center will select nominees for
the Gilbert Moore Fellowship and will then forward their names
to a selection committee of the Dean of Graduate Studies.
The next deadline for
Moore Fellowships and Baldy Pre-Dissertation and Dissertation
Fellowships is February 15, 2009.
