51. The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture - Scholars-in-Residence Program

The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a unit of The New York Public Library's Research Libraries, announces its Scholars-in-Residence Program for the academic year of 2000-2001. The residency program assists those scholars and professionals whose research in the black experience can benefit from extended research in the Center's collection.

The Fellowship Program encompasses projects in African, Afro-American, and Afro-Caribbean history and culture. Studies in the social sciences, the arts, science and technology, psychology, education, and religion are eligible if they utilize a humanistic approach and contribute to humanistic knowledge. Fellows are required to be in full-time residence at the Schomburg Center during the period of award. The fellowship stipend is $15,000 for six months and up to $30,000 for twelve months. The Program is supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Aaron Diamond Foundation.

The deadline for applications is JANUARY 15, 2000.
