Hibernian Research Awards

Funded by an endowment from the Ancient Order of Hibernians and Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians, these annual awards provide travel funds to support the scholarly study of Irish and Irish American history. The awards are designed to help researchers visit specific resources and collections relevant to Irish American Studies. Recipients are expected to acknowledge the award in their publications and share their research findings with the Cushwa Center through interviews or reports. This funding opportunity supports both emerging and established scholars conducting historical research related to Irish and Irish American topics.
