TitleNewberry Library fellowship for women of Native American heritage
Body
From: Melissa Mellott

This fellowship is for women of Native American heritage. While
candidates for this award may be working in any graduate or
pre-professional field, the particular goal of the Allen Fellowship is
to encourage Native American women in their studies of the humanities
and social sciences. Financial support varies according to need and
may include travel expenses. Allen Fellows are expected to spend a
significant part of their tenure in residence at the Newberry's D'Arcy
McNickle Center for American Indian History. The tenure of the
fellowship is from one month to one year; the fellowship provides up
to $8,000 in approved expenses.

The Newberry Library, open to the public without charge, is an
independent research library and educational institution dedicated to
the expansion and dissemination of knowledge in the humanities. As one
of the world's leading repositories of a broad range of books and
manuscripts relating to the civilizations of western Europe and the
Americas, the Library's mission is to acquire and preserve research
collections of such materials, and to provide for and promote their
effective use by a diverse community of users. As a library, the
Newberry is dedicated to the highest standards of collection
preservation and bibliographic access; as a research and educational
institution, it is committed to facilitating research, teaching, and
publication in an atmosphere of full and free intellectual inquiry.

Fellowships at the Newberry Library provide assistance to researchers
who wish to use our collections, but who cannot finance a visit on their own.

Application deadline: February 15, 2004
