Fellowships, Grants, and Residencies

 

Fellowship Information

Dumbarton Oaks offers residential fellowships in three areas of study:
Byzantine Studies (including related aspects of late Roman, early
Christian, Western medieval, Slavic, and Near Eastern studies),
Pre-Columbian Studies (of Mexico, Central America, and Andean South
America), and Garden and Landscape Studies.

 

Junior Fellowships

Junior Fellowships are for degree candidates who at the time of
application have fulfilled all preliminary requirements for a Ph.D. (or
appropriate final degree) and will be working on a dissertation or final
project at Dumbarton Oaks under the direction of a faculty member at
their own university.

 

Fellowships

Fellowships are for scholars who hold a doctorate (or appropriate final
degree) or have established themselves in their field and wish to pursue
their own research. Applications will also be accepted from graduate
students who expect to have the Ph.D. in hand prior to taking up
residence at Dumbarton Oaks. (Successful applicants will revert to the
status and stipend of Junior Fellows if the degree has not been
conferred by the beginning of their term of residence.)

 

2009 Summer Fellowships

Summer Fellowships are for Byzantine, Pre-Columbian, or Garden and
Landscape scholars on any level of advancement beyond the first year of
graduate (post-baccalaureate) study.

 

Deadlines for Fellowship and Grant Applications 

Applications for all awards must be submitted by November 1, 2008.
Please note that this year we are introducing an online application
system. Awards will be announced in February 2009 and must be accepted
by March 15 of that year. Award decisions are made by external
committees of scholars in the three fields.

 

Short-Term Residencies 

Dumbarton Oaks offers a limited number of short-term residencies for
advanced graduate students who are either preparing for their Ph.D.
general exams or writing their doctoral dissertations in the field of
Byzantine, Pre-Columbian or Landscape Architecture Studies. Each
residency provides up to two weeks of free accommodation in the Fellows
Building and free lunches on weekdays. In addition, an unlimited pass to
the Library will be issued for the period of the residency. Successful
applicants for residencies will be eligible to apply a second time
before they receive their Ph.D. degrees. The award of a residency does
not preclude a subsequent award of a junior or a regular fellowship. The
number of residencies that can be awarded will depend on space
availability in the Fellows Building.
