Paul Cuffe Memorial Fellowship for the Study of Minorities in American Maritime History

Description

The Museum's Paul Cuffe Fellowship has provided funds to researchers from universities, colleges, and museums. The fellowships are offered to encourage research that considers the participation of Native and African Americans in the maritime activities of America, particularly in New England. The first option supports research and writing, a portion of which should normally be carried out in the Mystic area. The second option builds the research and writing into five weeks of residence and summertime University of Connecticut graduate courses held at Mystic Seaport Museum's Munson Institute. The Paul Cuffe Memorial Fellowship has a rolling deadline; and The Paul Cuffe Memorial Fellowship with Summer Graduate Classes has a deadline of April 15. Three references are required. Applications will be judged on the merits of the proposed research project, the qualifications of the applicant, and the use to be made of the scholarly resources of southeastern New England. Please visit the award's website for more information.
