University of Alabama Center for the Study of the South Short-Term Research Fellowship

To support the study of southern history and promote the use of the manuscript collections housed at The University of Alabama, the Frances S. Summersell Center for the Study of the South, the Charles G. Summersell Chair of Southern History, and The University of Alabama Libraries will offer a total of eight research fellowships in the amount of $750 each for the 2024-2025 academic year. Eligible researchers will have projects that entail work to be conducted in southern history or southern studies at the W.S. Hoole Special Collections Library, the A.S. Williams III Americana Collection, or any other University of Alabama collections.

Eligibility

Both academic and non-academic researchers at any stage of their careers are encouraged to apply. Because fellowships are designed primarily to help defray travel and lodging expenses, however, eligibility is restricted to researchers living outside the Tuscaloosa area.
