Hagley Exploratory Research Grants

 

These grants support one-week visits by scholars who believe that their project will benefit from Hagley research collections but need the opportunity to explore them on-site to determine if a Henry Belin du Pont Fellowship application is warranted.  Priority will be given to junior scholars with innovative projects that seek to expand on existing scholarship.  Applicants should reside more than 50 miles from Hagley, and the stipend is $400.  Application deadlines:  March 31, June 30, and October 31.

 

 

 

Henry Belin du Pont Fellowships

 

These research grants enable scholars to pursue advanced research and study in the collections of the Hagley Library.  They are awarded for the length of time needed to make use of Hagley collections for a specific project.  The stipends are for a maximum of eight weeks and are pro-rated at $400/week for recipients who reside further than 50 miles from Hagley, and $200/week for those within 50 miles.  Application deadlines:  March 31, June 30, and October 31.
