NYPL Short Term Fellowships for Scholars

The New York Public Library is now accepting applications for Short Term Fellowships to support scholars, based outside the New York metropolitan area, engaged in graduate-level, post-doctoral, and independent research in the arts and humanities. 

Fellowship stipends are $1,000 per week for a minimum of two and a maximum of four concurrent weeks. Applications will be accepted now through January 31, 2022. Applicants will be notified during the first week of May, 2022.

This fellowship is intended to support projects that would significantly benefit from research conducted on-site at NYPL's three research centers, The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, Dorothy and Lewis B. Cullman Center, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, and the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, drawing from collections unique to The New York Public Library. 

Completed applications can be entered through the online Fellowship Portal and must consist of an application form, project proposal, abbreviated CV, and a professional letter of recommendation.
