The Melissa Institute for Violence Prevention and Treatment was established 24 years ago following the murder of a young Miami resident, Melissa Aptman (to learn more about our story here). Our mission is to prevent violence through education, consultation and the application of research based solutions. The Belfer-Aptman Scholars Award for Dissertation Research has become an important source of support for new generations of talented violence prevention researchers in the US and beyond.
Apply today for the opportunity to join a selective community of over 50 Belfer-Aptman Dissertation Award Scholars. The Institute is offering up to three (3)scholarship awards at $3,500 each to support violence prevention dissertation research. The awards are available to doctoral students from any discipline which addresses issues of violence prevention and/or treatment. The award must be used to support expenses that are directly related to the dissertation research (e.g., subject fees, equipment, etc.). It may not be used for tuition, personal travel or personal expenses.
