2. EDUCATION:<\/em><\/div>\r\n
MILLER INDIGENOUS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FELLOWSHIP<\/div>\r\nRecognizing the current economic climate and the underrepresentation of Native researchers in the field of economics and economic development, American Indian Graduate Center established the Miller Indigenous Economic Development Fellowship<\/a>. \r\n

<\/p>\r\nThrough the generous support of American Indian Graduate Center Alumnus Robert J. Miller, this fellowship is established to award research fellowships to doctoral candidates in their current data collection or analysis phase whose work centers on economics and economic development focusing on or influencing Native communities. These funds will support candidates in need of assistance with costs related to their data collection and data analysis processes.\r\n

<\/p>\r\n The deadline for applying is November 19<\/a>.\r\n
