Folger Institute Research Short-Term Residential Fellowships
Short-term residential fellowships support scholars whose work would benefit from significant primary research onsite at the Folger for one, two, or three months, with a monthly stipend of $4,000. These fellowships are designed to support a concentrated period of full-time work on research projects that draw on the strengths of the Folger’s collections and programs. Additionally, these on-site fellowships provide researchers with the opportunity to engage in collections-based research within an interdisciplinary community as well as informal opportunities to discuss their research with and receive feedback from this community regularly on-site.
Up to three months
$4,000 per month
Scholars must hold a terminal degree in their field in order to be eligible for a short-term residential fellowship.
Ph.D. candidates (ABD) are welcome to apply. However, the majority of Folger fellowships require applicants to hold the Ph.D. by the time they begin their fellowship. For example, if you apply for a fellowship in the fall of 2023, but plan to defend in May of 2024 and take up your fellowship in July of 2024 (or any time after July), then you qualify to apply.
