The Carmen Brock Graduate Fellowship (originally established in 1998) is awarded on an annual basis to successful applicants to the University of Toronto from postsecondary academic institutions in the Caribbean, Belize, Guyana, Surinam or sub-Saharan Africa, in order to study the history of these regions at the University of Toronto. The total value of the Fellowship is $10,000CAD, normally to be disbursed over two years in the case of MA students, and over four years in the case of PhD candidates.

The Department of History has a long and distinguished tradition of research in the fields of African and Atlantic World scholarship and we strongly encourage applicants who meet the Fellowship criteria to apply. Please be advised that the recipient of the award will be selected by the Carmen Brock Fellowship Committee from among successful applicants to the graduate history program.
