NEH Fellowships at the Library Company of Philadelphia
One fellowship in the humanities for each of three years.
The Library Company of Philadelphia seeks a grant of $138,000 to fund up to 12 post-doctoral fellowship months for each of three years. In 1987 the Library Company established a fellowship program, which now has 285 "alumni." Fellowship opportunities include short-term grants as well as long-term post-doctoral and dissertation fellowships. The proposed Library Company/NEH fellowships would complement these existing opportunities. Our recent renovation of a historic townhouse as a residential research center provides for the first time the kinds of facilities and amenities needed to support long-term NEH fellows and sustain a community of scholars, and we are taking the first opportunity to begin offering such fellowships.
