The H. Allen Brooks Travelling Fellowship, administered by the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH), supports recent graduates and emerging scholars in studying the built environment through continuous travel. Fellows may visit any country or countries, experiencing architecture and landscapes firsthand through observing, reading, writing, photographing, and sketching. Partial-year itineraries are accepted to broaden access for applicants unable to travel for a full year.
Created through a 2010 bequest from architectural historian H. Allen Brooks, the fellowship provides time for personal enrichment and professional reflection. It seeks to help recipients acquire knowledge useful to their future work, their profession, and society. It is not intended to finance research for an advanced academic degree or publication.
