Description
The Huntington’s Exchange Fellowships for Study Abroad provide North American scholars with the opportunity to conduct research at one of nine leading partner institutions in the United Kingdom and Ireland, including several Oxford and Cambridge colleges, Trinity College Dublin, and major universities. The program is designed for doctoral candidates who have advanced to candidacy (ABD), faculty members, and postdoctoral scholars, and supports a one-month research residency abroad. Most host institutions provide accommodation and meals; some offer a stipend instead, requiring fellows to arrange their own housing. All fellows receive reimbursement for economy round-trip airfare. The timing of the fellowship is coordinated with the academic calendar and housing availability at the host institution.
