Michael B. Teitz Fellowship

AWARDS, SCHOLARSHIPS + FELLOWSHIPS
AWARDS, SCHOLARSHIPS + FELLOWSHIPS

Each year, the Michael B. Teitz Fellowship provides a stipend to students who follow in the path of Emeritus Professor Michael Teitz in pursuing rigorous research on issues affecting people or countries underrepresented in urban planning.  Either Ph.D. or MCP students may apply; however, the Fellowship Committee is to give STRONG preference to Ph.D. students (of 19 past winners, just 3 were MCP students). 

Application Deadline

TBD

Award Quantity/Amount

Up to $2,500

Eligibility

Full-time (i.e. enrolled at least one full semester during the current year) MCP and Ph.D. students in the Department of City & Regional Planning.

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

Please submit the following materials to Professor Karen Chapple at chapple@berkeley.edu by no later than application deadline:

  1. A current CV or resume
  2. A recent research paper, professional report, dissertation chapter, inside field statement, prospectus, or the like.
  3. A brief (1-2 page) cover letter describing your future research plans.

Please note: Federal financial aid regulations require that all awards received by a student cannot exceed their financial aid need as determined by a congressional formula. It is possible, therefore, that the cash award for a Prize could reduce some component of a needy student’s package of financial aid awards. In these cases, the Financial Aid Office attempts first to reduce loan or work aid; fellowships, grants or scholarships are only reduced as a last resort. Regardless of your financial aid situation, the IRS views fellowships, grants or scholarships that are not directly applied to tuition or other educational expenses as taxable income.

FUND BACKGROUND

Each year, the Michael B. Teitz Fellowship provides a stipend to students who follow in the path of Emeritus Professor Michael Teitz in pursuing rigorous research on issues affecting people or countries underrepresented in urban planning.  Either Ph.D. or MCP students may apply; however, the Fellowship Committee is to give STRONG preference to Ph.D. students (of 19 past winners, just 3 were MCP students).

The preferred candidate will adopt an interdisciplinary framework and a rigorous methodological approach to research, with an interest in (in order of preference) (a) regional planning and/or development; (b) planning history; (c) local economic development; (d) poverty; (e) housing; or (f) international development. Should no strong candidate emerge with specializations in these areas, the committee may, at its own discretion, select a candidate engaged in research in other areas.

Past awardees include Yasuyuki Motoyama, Enrique Silva, Michael Donovan, Alberto DiMinin, Bill Lester, Paavo Monkkonen, Kristin Perkins/Marissa Plouin Ellis, Bruce Appleyard, Anne Martin, Alex Schafran, Ricardo Huerta, Emilio Martinez de Velasco, Sophie Gonick, Hannah Sholder, Alice Sverdlik, Andrea Broaddus, Sergio Montero, and Sara Hinkley.
