William Schallek Memorial Graduate Study Fellowship

The Medieval Academy of America is pleased to announce the William Schallek Memorial Graduate Study Fellowship which supports an advanced graduate student who is writing a Ph.D. dissertation in any relevant discipline dealing with late-medieval Britain (ca. 1350-1500). The $30,000 fellowship helps defray research and living expenses for the equivalent of an academic year of study. The fellowship recipient must devote full time to the dissertation project and may not hold any job or teaching position or work on another project during the term of the fellowship. Along with the completed application form, applicants must submit a dissertation proposal that has been approved by the applicant's dissertation committee; a letter of recommendation from the applicant's dissertation director certifying that the applicant has passed qualifying exams and received approval for the dissertation project and discussing the merits of the project and the applicant's preparation to complete it successfully; a second letter of recommendation from a graduate professor discussing the merits of the dissertation project and the applicant's preparation to complete it successfully.
