Brandywine Dissertation Fellowships

The Hagley Library's Brandywine Dissertation Fellowship is designed for graduate students who are actively working on their dissertation. A residential fellowship for three to four months duration, it provides $10,000 and free housing on Hagley's grounds along with an office and other amenities. Brandywine Dissertation fellows are expected to work at Hagley at least four days weekly and to participate in events organized by Hagley's Center for the History of Business, Technology, and Society. The fellowship invites applications from Ph.D. candidates whose research on important historical questions uses Hagley's research collections. Applications should demonstrate superior intellectual quality, present a persuasive methodology, and show that the dissertation makes significant use of Hagley research materials.
