Description
The Huntington’s Exchange Fellowships for Study Abroad provide North American scholars with the opportunity to conduct advanced research at one of nine distinguished partner institutions in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Designed for doctoral candidates who have advanced to candidacy (ABD), faculty members, and postdoctoral scholars, this fellowship supports a one-month research residency abroad. Fellows benefit from either provided accommodation and meals or a stipend to arrange their own housing, plus reimbursement for round-trip economy airfare. The program is tailored to facilitate meaningful scholarly engagement with resources and experts abroad, with timing coordinated to align with academic calendars and host institution availability. Eligible disciplines are broad within the humanities, and preference may be given to projects aligning with The Huntington’s collection strengths.
