The Massachusetts Historical Society and the Boston Athenaeum will award the Suzanne and Caleb Loring Fellowship on the Civil War, Its Origins, and Consequences annually. The recipient will conduct research for at least four weeks at each institution. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or already hold the J-1 or F-1 visa (or equivalent documents) and a U.S. taxpayer identification number. The MHS cannot sponsor visas for researchers. Foreign nationals must consult with MHS staff about their eligibility to receive a stipend before submitting an application. Applicants who do not hold a Ph.D. must submit one letter of recommendation from a faculty member familiar with their work and with the project being proposed. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
