Mendel Fellowships
The Lilly Library of Indiana University invites applications for
fellowships of up to $40,000 during the academic year in support of
research in the library's Bernardo Mendel collections, as noted below.
Established through a bequest by the estate of Johanna Lenz
Mendel in 1998, the Mendel Fellowships are intended to support research
by scholars from around the world in areas of particular interest to the
Mendels, including: the history of the Spanish Colonial Empire; Latin
American independence movements; European expansion in the Americas;
voyages, travels and exploration; geography, navigation and cartography;
German literature and history; and music, including sheet music. The
amount of the stipend is based on the length of stay, which may range
from one week to a full academic year. The fellowship is intended to
cover travel to the Lilly Library and living expenses while in
residence.
There is no special application form: Candidates, ranging from
doctoral research students to senior scholars, should submit a
curriculum vitae, a 2-3 page proposal for their projects, including the
specific holdings they intend to consult, two letters of recommendation,
and a indication of length of stay, which may include the summer
months.
Application deadline:
No applications will be accepted in the fall of 2014. The next application deadline is September 30, 2015.
