Institut Français d'Amérique Fund Research Fellowships

The Society for French Historical Studies offers two research fellowships depending on available funds of up to $1,500 per award for maintenance during research in France for a period of at least one month. Candidates should be working on PhD dissertations, or they should have received the PhD no longer than three years before the application deadline. These awards are not for travel to or from France. The proposed fields for research can include all areas of French historical and cultural studies. These research fellowships are supported by The Institut Français d'Amérique Fund of the SFHS. The two awards will be named in alternating years the Gilbert Chinard Fellowship or the Harmon Chadbourn Rorison Fellowship, for the first award, and the Edouard Morot-Sir Fellowship or the Catherine Maley Fellowship, for the second award. The Chinard/Rorison Fellowship will support research in all areas of French historical and cultural studies. The Morot-Sir/Maley Fellowship will give preference to young scholars working in a broadly defined field of cultural history, art history, or literary studies. The winners will be announced at the annual meeting of the Society for French Historical Studies. The award may not be shared.
