Some fellowships, however, are open to other categories of applicants and Chicago residents. The eligibility restrictions on Some of the  fellowships are given below. The tenure of short-term fellowships varies from one to two months, unless otherwise noted under the award description. Unless otherwise noted, the amount of the award is $1600 per month.

Eligibility:

* Newberry Library Short-Term Resident Fellowships for Individual Research. These short-term fellowships provide access to the Newberry’s collections for Ph.D. candidates or post-doctoral scholars who live and work outside the Chicago area. Normally, these fellowships are awarded to individual scholars. We will, however, award a small number of fellowships for collaborative projects. Teams of two or three scholars who plan to collaborate on a single, substantive project are therefore also eligible to apply. The stipend is $1600 per month for each scholar.

* Susan Kelly Power and Helen Hornbeck Tanner Fellowship. This fellowship is for Ph.D. candidates and post-doctoral scholars of American Indian heritage. The fellowship provides up to two months of residential research in any field in the humanities using the collections of the Newberry Library, and provides a stipend of $1600 per month. Applicants for this fellowship need not be from outside the Chicago area.

Application deadline: February 10,2011
