The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library has relaunched and expanded its fellowship program to facilitate research in Yale’s special collections by the broadest possible group of researchers. We welcome applications from scholars and graduate students locally and globally who utilize traditional methods of archival and bibliographic research as well as from individuals who wish to pursue creative, interdisciplinary, and non-traditional approaches to conducting research in the collections.  

Fellowships will be awarded in the amount of $5,000 per month for varying lengths of time.   

Fellowship application deadlines and requirements can be found on our website. If you have any further questions, please contact [email protected].
