Fellowship Descriptions

Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Predoctoral Awards in Women’s History

The two recipients of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Predoctoral Awards in Women’s History should have a strong interest in women’s and public history and the applications of these fields outside the academy.

They must be currently enrolled students in good standing in a relevant Ph.D. program in the humanities. The Predoctoral Awardees, whose work at N-YHS may not directly correspond with their dissertation research, will be in residence part time at the New-York Historical Society for one academic year, between September 9, 2020, and August 28, 2021, and will receive a stipend of $20,000 per year. This position is not full time and will not receive full benefits.
