Description
The Fellows Research Award, funded by the Fellows of the Medieval Academy of America, is designed to support research in medieval studies for scholars who lack access to institutional research funding. The award provides financial assistance to cover travel or access expenses necessary for consulting original sources, archives, manuscripts, works of art, or monuments in situ. The primary aim is to enable Ph.D. candidates and non-tenure-track scholars to directly engage with essential primary materials critical to their research.
