About Scholarship
The Massachusetts Historical Society African American Studies Fellowship will support research at the Massachusetts Historical Society in African American History. Most grants will provide a stipend for four weeks of research at the Society sometime between 1 July 2025, and 30 June 2026. Short-term awards are open to independent scholars, advanced graduate students, and holders of the PhD or the equivalent. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or already hold the J-1 or F-1 visa (or equivalent documents) and a U.S. taxpayer identification number. The MHS cannot sponsor visas for researchers. Applicants who do not reside in the U.S. must indicate their citizenship. Foreign nationals must consult with MHS staff about their eligibility to receive a stipend before submitting an application. Applicants must submit a project proposal which should include: a description of the project; a statement explaining the historiographical significance of the project; and an indication of the specific MHS collections the applicant wishes to consult. Applicants who do not hold a PhD must submit one letter of recommendation from a faculty member familiar with their work and with the project being proposed. Please visit the fellowship's website or contact the Massachusetts Historical Society for more information.
