Discover Funding Opportunities

The Arthur L. Norberg Travel Fund provides short-term grants-in-aid to help graduate students, academics, and other researchers with travel expenses to use archival collections at the Charles Babbage Institute (CBI). The fund is named for CBI's founding director, Arthur L. Norberg, and is funded by generous gifts from his friends and colleagues. In January of each year, the program plans to award up to three $1,000 travel grants. Preference is given to graduate students, postdocs, and junior faculty who need financial support to conduct research using CBI's archival collections related to the history of computing and information technology.

The Adelle and Erwin Tomash Graduate Fellowship is awarded annually to support a standout graduate student for doctoral dissertation research in the History of Computing, Information, and Culture. The fellowship provides a $14,000 stipend to recipients who have completed all requirements for their doctoral degree except the research and writing of the dissertation. Past Fellows are among the leading scholars in the history of computing, information, and society. The Fellowship is named for and funded by an endowment created by Adelle and Erwin Tomash, the founders of the Charles Babbage Institute at the University of Minnesota.
