I'm writing to tell you about a new scholarship available to students accepted into UChicago's Master of Arts Program in the Social Sciences (MAPSS): the Chicago Studies Scholarship.
Applicants to MAPSS who plan to conduct scholarly research centered on the City of Chicago for their thesis or capstone project can be considered for the $30,000 Chicago Studies Scholarship. This research might include delving into the city and the surrounding areas or exploring one of Chicago’s many diverse communities. We are particularly interested in projects that are designed to draw upon the city’s rich resources, including projects requiring fieldwork in the city or the use of archives in Chicago or surrounding areas.
To be considered for the scholarship, interested applicants should respond "Yes" to the relevant question in the application and discuss their City of Chicago-centered research plans in their candidate statement. Please note that requesting consideration for scholarships does not have an impact upon consideration for admission.
We're happy to answer any questions you may have about MAPSS, the Chicago Studies Scholarship, or anything else. You can reach us via email at ssd-admissions@uchicago.edu.
Sincerely,
Jon Rogowski
