About Scholarship
The Foundation for Community Association Research (FCAR) awards its Byron Hanke Fellowship to selected graduate students to implement research projects related to the development, management and governance of common interest communities and their community associations. Applicants must be enrolled, at time of application and through the research period, in a graduate level program (masters, doctoral, legal) at an accredited higher education institution in the United States or Canada. Students from any relevant discipline may apply for the Hanke Fellowship, provided their research project relates to community associations and/or common interest communities. Projects may focus on applied or theoretical research and must be done in conjunction with the fellow's graduate studies. The Foundation is especially interested in substantive papers from the social sciences, which place community association housing within political or economic organizational models. In all cases, the topic must have the approval of the graduate student's general academic adviser, or of another full-time faculty member who will supervise the Hanke Fellow's project. The project topic must have potential of furthering understanding of residential community associations. The application should clearly explain the purpose and anticipated outcomes of the project and show how it will expand or enhance existing theory, knowledge, or data collection and help to advance the Foundation's mission. Applicants may submit proposals on other relevant topics with the understanding that preference will be given to proposals that address priority topics. Applicants must provide the names and addresses of three non-related references who can speak to their ability to complete the research project. One should include the student's general academic advisor or another full-time faculty member who will supervise the Hanke fellow's project. Applicants must also submit a brief writing sample. Applications may be submitted through email, fax, or mail. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
