The Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library at Yale University offers a limited number of fellowships for non-Yale graduate students (doctoral candidates) wishing to conduct primary research for their dissertations or doctoral thesis. Graduate students (doctoral candidates) currently enrolled in PhD or DPhil programs from across the country and around the world are invited to apply. Only applicants demonstrating a need for in-depth consultation of Beinecke materials will receive serious consideration.

Granted for one, two, or three months, fellowships must be taken up between June 1 and August 31, 2019. The fellowships pay for travel costs to and from New Haven and a living allowance of $3,000 per month.

Recipients are expected to be in residence during the period of their award and are encouraged to participate in the activities of Yale University. Awarded fellows may not hold concurrent teaching positions or any concurrent fellowships.
