Alice Fisher Society Fellowship

The Barbara Bates Center for the Study of the History of Nursing offers a fellowship of up to $5,000 to support scholarship in the history of nursing through research in their extensive collections that document the history of nursing and healthcare in the U.S. Recipients of Alice Fisher Society funds are chosen based on the strength of their project and their demonstrated need for access to the Bates Center's collections. The scholarships are open to those with masters' and doctoral level preparation. Fisher fellows will have access to the Bates Center's knowledgeable staff as well as resources available through the Penn Libraries. Recipients of the Fisher Fellowship are asked to work with the Center to help curate a digital exhibit based on their archival research and may also be asked to present and discuss their work at the Barbara Bates Center's Works in Progress Forum. This fellowship was established by the Alumni of the Philadelphia General Hospital School of Nursing.
