American Catholic Association’s John Tracy Ellis Dissertation Award

---

The John Tracy Ellis Dissertation Award, which carries a purse of $1,200, memorializes the scholarship and teaching of Monsignor Ellis (1905-1992). Its purpose is to assist a graduate student working on some aspect of the history of the Catholic Church. The eleventh annual award will be announced at the Association's eighty-ninth meeting, which will be held in New York City, on January 2-5, 2009. Those wishing to enter the competition for the award must be citizens or authorized residents (i.e., permanent residents or on student visas) of the United States or Canada, and must be enrolled in a doctoral program at a reception at a recognized institution of higher education. Applications are due to the Secretary of the Association in September. Visit the John Tracy Ellis Dissertation Award webpage for application details.
