Doctoral Institute Scholarship Application

Please fill out this form in full. This is a highly competitive scholarship award, thus thoughtful responses should be provided.

To ensure the best experience for participants, MOBTS will select candidates who will be a good fit for the programming offered within the DI. Those best suited for the DI are participants who are not yet on the job market, but have completed enough of their doctoral program to be ready to start thinking about preparing for the job market. Please note that applicants may be selected that do not neatly fit into this criteria.

It is mandatory that attendees participate in the entirety of the DI and general conference in order to receive this scholarship award. The DI schedule will include:

MONDAY, JUNE 7th

Attendees are expected to arrive by 2pm on Monday, June 8th for their DI icebreaker session.
- This will be followed by a reception for the DI, EEI, and MOBTS Board of Directors to meet and greet.
- Following the reception, the DI cohort will proceed to dinner with their cohort and DI leadership.

TUESDAY, JUNE 8th

The DI workshop will then run all day on Tuesday, June 9th, leading into the MOBTS 2027 Opening Dinner & Session

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 9th - FRIDAY, JUNE 11th
