AAA Doctoral Dissertation Grant Competition The American Academy of Advertising Doctoral Dissertation Grant Competition exists to promote doctoral research in advertising. Typically, one or two doctoral students receive grants in the range of $1,000 to $2,000. Awards are based on a competitive review of dissertation proposals. Any topic in advertising may be addressed.
