Rackham Predoctoral Fellowship Celebration
The Rackham Predoctoral Fellowships are part of a long heritage of funding for outstanding Ph.D. students from across varying disciplines dating back to the 1930s. Each spring, graduate programs from across the University of Michigan nominate their most talented scholars to receive this prestigious award. The recipients are advanced doctoral students who use the fellowship to complete their dissertation research and writing.
