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



     ABOUT THE 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.
