Mystic Seaport Museum Fellowship for American Maritime Studies Program

For more than 60 years, the Frank C. Munson Institute at the Mystic Seaport Museum in Stonington, Connecticut has drawn graduate students, faculty, and independent scholars to its residential, five week-long summer programs in maritime studies. For the upcoming summer, the Munson Institute will offer two co-current courses focused on the American maritime experience. These courses will trace U.S. maritime heritage from before “America” to the present, exploring maritime communities, cultures, and industries through lecture, discussion, and independent research.

Applicants for the summer session may apply for one of the twelve fellowships. Each of the resident fellowships, set to run from late June – early August, will be supported with a $2,400 stipend, accommodations in museum-owned housing, and book purchases.
