The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation provides Ernest Hemingway Research Grants for scholars and students researching the Ernest Hemingway Collection at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum. Projects should make meaningful use of the Collection and contribute to Hemingway or related studies.
Applications are assessed for their expected use of the Collection, the project’s contribution to scholarship, and the applicant’s qualifications. The proposal should explain the project’s significance, how research at other institutions fits into the work, and its intended audience and outcome. Dissertation research and projects without support from major grants at other institutions receive preference, although all proposals are considered.
