Created in the fall of 2002, Alliance is a non-profit transatlantic joint-venture between Columbia University and three prestigious French institutions: the École Polytechnique, Sciences Po, and Panthéon-Sorbonne University. Each fellowship includes a $4,500 stipend to fund two months’ research in Europe and travel support for attending and presenting at the International Conference of Europeanists.
Eligibility
The Alliance - CES Pre-Dissertation Research Fellowship is intended to fund fellows’ first research project in Europe. Applicants must:

Barring exceptional circumstances, students who have already received comparable support for pre-dissertation research will not be considered eligible.
