Description
The Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture (OI) offers Fellowships in Historical Editing to talented William & Mary graduate students who have served as editorial apprentices and completed the Institute’s apprentice training. These annual awards recognize exemplary apprenticeship work and give current or former apprentices an opportunity to build on their skills through additional editorial work during the university’s summer break.
The fellowships also support the OI’s ability to maintain the high standards of its publications. Students at any phase of graduate study in William & Mary’s Harrison Ruffin Tyler Department of History or American Studies Program may qualify. Two fellowship categories offer different award amounts and work commitments, with an early American scholarship requirement for the OAAA Grace DeuPree Fellowships.
