Alice Fisher Society Fellowship

The Barbara Bates Center for the Study of the History of Nursing offers the Alice Fisher Society Fellowship to support scholarship in the history of nursing through research in their extensive collections documenting the history of nursing and healthcare in the U.S. Recipients are chosen based on the strength of their project and their demonstrated need for access to the Bates Center's collections. The fellowship is open to those with master's 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 will be 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. The fellowship was established by the Alumni of the Philadelphia General Hospital School of Nursing.
