Description
The Medieval Academy of America offers the Schallek Fellowship in collaboration with the Richard III Society–American Branch. It supports advanced graduate students conducting Ph.D. dissertation research in any relevant discipline, with a primary focus on late medieval England, another part of the British Isles, or British connections to continental Europe. The late medieval period is defined broadly as approximately 1350–1500.
Established in memory of William B. and Maryloo Spooner Schallek and supported by their gift to the Richard III Society, the fellowship helps cover research and living expenses during full-time dissertation work. The program’s scope and funding amount changed in July 2024.
