Summer Scholar Fellowships

     Summer scholar fellowships are awarded to five or six scholars in anthropology and related fields to pursue research or writing projects that promote understanding of  human behavior, culture, society, and the history of anthropology. Both humanistically-and scientifically-oriented scholars are encouraged to apply.
     Summer scholars are provided with a small stipend, a rent-free apartment and office on campus, an allowance account, library support, and other benefits during an eight-week session, from June 15-August 10. Shorter terms are available.
     The Summer Scholar Program is funded by the Ethel-Jane Westfeldt Bunting Foundation, the William Y. and Nettie K. Adams Fellowship in the History of Anthropology, the Arroyo Hondo Grants Program, and the School for Advanced Research.
