Fellowships for Americans in the Nordic Countries
The American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF) offers fellowships to graduate students and academic professionals interested in pursuing research or creative-arts projects in the Nordic region (Denmark, Greenland, Faroe Islands, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sápmi, and Sweden). The program provides year-long fellowships of up to $23,000 and short-term (1-3 months) fellowships of up to $5,000. Priority is given to candidates at the graduate level for dissertation-related research, though awards are made in all fields. The fellowships support project-related costs including roundtrip airfare, room and board in the Nordic region, in-country travel, tuition and fees where applicable, and materials such as books, photocopying, and art supplies. Applicants must be United States citizens or permanent residents who have completed their undergraduate education by the start of their project. First priority is given to applicants who have not previously received an ASF award, and applicants are eligible to receive only two awards within a ten-year period. The program emphasizes full-time commitment to research or creative work, with projects required to begin after April 15th annually.
