Description
The Schallek Awards, administered by the Medieval Academy of America in partnership with the Richard III Society – American Branch, provide financial support to graduate students conducting doctoral research focused on late-medieval Britain (circa 1350–1500) or its continental connections. The awards are specifically intended to defray research-related expenses such as travel to research collections and the acquisition of research materials (e.g., photographs, photocopies, microfilms). The program’s scope is broad, welcoming applicants from any relevant discipline who are engaged in projects centered on the late medieval period in England, the British Isles, or involving British-European interactions during that era.
