Please note: Due to impending renovations to the Clements Library and the temporary relocation of the collection, the Jacob M. Price Visiting Research Fellowship will not be offered during the 2010 calendar year. Please contact the Price Fellowship Coordinator for current information on the status of the fellowship program.

The Jacob M. Price Visiting Research Fellowships are offered to facilitate research in the Clements Library's collections.

• Several grants of $1000 are annually available for younger scholars -- graduate students and pre-tenured faculty -- whose work would benefit from use of the library's resources.

• Applicants are considered on the basis of the quality of their research project, the degree to which working at the Clements is necessary for their project, and their need for this type of support.

• Applications are accepted from October to January 15 each year, and awards are announced by the following March 15. Fellowships must be used by December 31, of the year awarded.

• All Fellows must spend a minimum of one week at the Clements Library.
