Colin Campbell and Tiantian Yang were awarded with Royster Society of Fellows Dissertation Completion Fellowship Awards from the prestigious Royster Society of Fellows, for the 2013-2014 academic year.
Dissertation Completion Fellowships support doctoral students in the final year of their dissertation. Each fellowship enables a student to focus full time on research and writing. This improves quality of the work and shortens the time to complete the degree.
There are two types of dissertation completion fellowships. There is the general Dissertation Completion Fellowship, and the Royster Society of Fellows Dissertation Completion Fellowship.
