Recent updates to the American-Scandinavian Foundation fellowships clarify a few key expectations for applicants. Your proposal must now explicitly demonstrate why residence in the Nordic region is essential to your project's success, and you are expected to devote full time to the work. Additionally, while supplemental funding is still allowed, the guidelines now specify that it cannot duplicate the benefits of your ASF award.
