Research Fellowships
ASEH recently established two fellowships, which are described below.
Samuel P. Hays Research Fellowship
ASEH created this fellowship to recognize the contributions of Samuel P. Hays, the inaugural recipient of the society's Distinguished Scholar Award, and to advance the field of environmental history, broadly conceived. The
fellowship provides a single payment of $1,000 to help fund travel to and use of an archive or manuscript repository. It is open to practicing
historians (either academic, public, or independent). Graduate students are ineligible. A Ph.D. is not required. Submissions will be accepted June 1 - September 30, 2010, and the recipient will be selected and notified in December 2010 for funding in January 2011.
To apply, please submit the following items:
1. A two-page statement (500 words) explaining your project and how you intend to use the research funds.
