Stacy Lloyd III Fellowship for Bibliographic Study

The Stacy Lloyd III Fellowship for Bibliographic Study is awarded annually to one outstanding early-career scholar, working in some area related to the history, art, and culture of plants, gardens and landscapes. This is Oak Spring Garden Foundation's most prestigious award for early career researchers and scholars in the humanities. The award includes a $10,000 individual grant and requires a 2-5 week stay at Oak Spring. While at OSGF, the Fellow will be able to meet with staff, explore the 700-acre landscape and sustainable land management efforts, and visit the rare book library that holds over 19,000 objects, including many examples of botanical art. The Fellowship is well suited for individuals working on dissertations, or writing projects that require dedicated time and minimal distractions. OSGF intends to award the Fellowship to an exceptional researcher who is developing a new body of research that would especially benefit from access to Oak Spring's library. The Fellow will be scheduled to visit when there are other Interdisciplinary Residents or Fellows on-site, allowing the Fellow to join in communal meals, optional activities and field trips with other artists, ecologists, researchers, or scholars working on projects related to OSGF's mission.
