Folger Institute Research Long-Term Fellowships
The Folger Institute offers five, long-term fellowships at $70,000 for the 2024-2025 academic year (approximately $7,777 per month, for a standard period of 9 months). These fellowships are designed to support full-time scholarly work on significant research projects that draw on the strengths of the Folger’s collections and programs.
Please note, for the 2024-25 fellowship year, long-term fellows will have the option to take up to 3 months of their 9-month fellowship virtually. This virtual time may be taken at any point in the fellowship and does not have to be taken concurrently. Applicants may propose any research schedule that best fits their project’s needs.

$70,000
Applicants for long-term fellowships must hold a Ph.D. by the time they begin their fellowship. For example, if you apply for a long-term fellowship in the fall of 2023, successfully defend in May of 2024 and take up your fellowship in fall of 2024, then you qualify to apply for a long-term fellowship.
Ph.D. candidates (ABD) are welcome to apply for short-term scholarly fellowships.
Graduate students who are not yet ABD should explore our Scholarly Programs, which are designed for and open to graduate students in the humanities.
