Emily Dickinson International Society
EMILY DICKINSON INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY: Awards a fellowship of $1,000 in support of graduate student scholarship on Emily Dickinson. The fellowship may be used to fund travel to collections or conferences, to support book purchases, or for other research expenses necessary to the project. Preference will be given to applicants enrolled in doctoral programs and engaged in the writing of dissertations or other major projects directed toward publication. To apply, send a CV, a project description, the names and contact information of two references, and a dissertation prospectus or other relevant writing sample of no more than 25 pages to Paul Crumbley (paul.crumbley@usu.edu). Applications are due by 15 January 2014. The society also invites applications for the Scholar in Amherst Program, which includes an award of $2,000 that may be used for expenses related to Dickinson research (e.g., travel, accommodations, rental car). Residency in Amherst is not a requirement. Preference will be given to persons with completed PhDs who are in the early stages of their careers. To apply for the Scholar in Amherst Award, submit a CV, a letter of introduction (written by the applicant), and a two-page project proposal including a preliminary budget and brief bibliography by 15 January 2014 to Paul Crumbley (paul.crumbley@usu.edu).
