Hello everyone,
This is a reminder that the deadline to apply for the Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship for Diversity, Inclusion & Cultural Heritage at Rare Book School is 30 November 2021 at 11:59 p.m. ET. This program offers unique professional development opportunities for early- to mid-career professionals currently working in a special collections library, an archive, or at other cultural heritage institutions located in the United States.
As part of the program, selected fellows will receive:
- tuition waivers for three Rare Book School courses;
- funding to attend the annual conference of the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries in the first year of the fellowship;
- an opportunity to participate in one cultural heritage field school;
- funding to organize community symposia at their home institutions;
- and funding to attend conferences of the fellows' choice during their second and third years of participation in the program.
For more information on the fellowship, including how to apply, please visit: https://rarebookschool.org/admissions-awards/fellowships/mellon-diversity/.
Prospective applicants are encouraged to watch the informational session, and to direct any questions to me at chfellowship@virginia.edu.
