$65,000 to Study History, Philosophy, PoliSci, and More

Frederick Burkhardt Residential Fellowships for Recently Tenured Scholars are open to scholars engaged in long-term, unusually ambitious projects in the humanities and related social sciences. Appropriate fields of specialization include, but are not limited to, archaeology, anthropology, art history, economics, geography, history, language and literature, law, linguistics, musicology, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion, and sociology. Proposals in the social science fields listed above are eligible only if they employ predominantly humanistic approaches. Proposals in interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary studies are welcome, as are proposals focused on any geographic region or any cultural or linguistic group. The ACLS will award approximately nine Burkhardt Fellowships per year to recently tenured humanists at institutions in the U.S. and Canada. Each fellowship carries a stipend of $65,000.
