Description
The H. Allen Brooks Travelling Fellowship, offered by the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH), provides recent graduates and emerging scholars in architecture and related fields with the opportunity to undertake 3 to 12 months of continuous international travel. The fellowship is intended to encourage personal enrichment and professional growth through immersive experiences with architecture, landscapes, and the built environment.
