The Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies and Arizona State University Library are excited to announce our membership in the Newberry Library’s Renaissance Studies Consortium. As part of our membership, ACMRS and the ASU Library, in collaboration with the Newberry Library Center for Renaissance Studies, offer the annual Newberry Library Fellowships to support ASU graduate students and faculty looking to research at the Newberry or participate in Center for Renaissance Studies programming.
This year, ACMRS and ASU Libraries will be offering four fellows an award of up to $1,500 to conduct research and/or participate in Center in Renaissance Studies programming at the Newberry Library. The list of current and upcoming Newberry Programming can be found online here.
Qualifications
Applicants must be ASU faculty members, post-doctoral students, or graduate students.
Application Instructions
Applications should consist of a 750-1,000-word proposal, a curriculum vitae, and contact information for two references. Proposals should establish what the fellowship will be used for (research, programming, etc.) and include a brief approximate budget for how the funds will be used. For graduate students, one reference must be their doctoral advisor or chair.
Applications for Newberry Fellowships are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the academic year contingent on remaining yearly funding.
