Folger - Short-term Fellowships

Organization: Folger Shakespeare Library

Short-term fellowships are supported by the Library's own endowments and carry a stipend of $2,500 per month. Some fellowship endowments seek to support scholars working on a specific topic or from a specific region, while others are unrestricted. Short-term Fellows are selected by an internal committee and one external scholar. The members of the committee consider the following criteria in making selections: importance of the topic, originality and sophistication of the approach; feasibility of research objectives, and the applicant's need for the Folger collections. The members of the selection committee may be inclined to give special weight to the applicant's need for the collections.
