Funding Opportunities
Newton Fellowship
The Newton Fellowship is funded by the Anne & Bill Newton Endowment Fund and awarded by the Robert W. Woodruff Library to one advanced graduate student at Emory University. The fellowship provides an opportunity for the selected student to work closely with the staff of the Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library on instruction and outreach projects. The Anne and Bill Newton Fellow will conduct 2-4 short-term projects related to the Rose Library's instruction and outreach program. Primary responsibilities include researching, designing, and assessing instructional curriculum that incorporates Rose Library exhibitions for undergraduate courses. Additionally, the fellow will utilize their teaching, writing, and research skills to curate an exhibition connecting the Rose Library's collections to campus-wide discussions. The fellow will be assigned to the Research Services Unit of Rose Library. While an interest in the public functions of libraries and archives is preferred, it is not a required qualification. This fellowship offers graduate students valuable experience in archival instruction, exhibition curation, and public humanities work.
Short-Term Travel Awards
The Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library offers short-term travel awards to support scholarly use of the library research collections in five strategic areas: English-language literature and poetry, The Raymond Danowski Poetry Library, African American history and culture, Southern history and culture, and Political and social movements. Travel award applicants are required to submit a research plan and are evaluated on three criteria: the qualifications of the candidate, a clearly articulated research topic, and a demonstrated understanding of the research materials available in the Rose Library to support their work. Equal weight is given to each of these three aspects in determining the final priority rating. Awards are given at $1,000 per week, and the total award amount depends on the applicant's research proposal. Travel can begin on September 1, 2026, and must be completed by August 1, 2027. All award recipients are required to submit a report of their experiences and work at Rose Library for the library's blog. Funds are disbursed to award recipients 4-6 weeks after the completion of their research visit and submission of blog post.
