Lewis Hanke Prize
     Project to turn a dissertation into a book manuscript.

This award was created through generous donations from students, colleagues, and family members of the late Lewis Hanke.  It will be given annually to a recent Ph.D. recipient in order to conduct field research that will allow transformation of the dissertation into a book.  Applicants must have completed their Ph.D. degrees in the field of Latin American history no more than four years prior to the closing date of the application.
