Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program

The UNCF has been invited to submit a nominee for the Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program.

The Carnegie Corporation of New York will award up to thirty-five fellowships of $200,000 to support travel, research assistants, and/or sabbatical time.

Extraordinary senior or junior scholars at Spelman are invited to submit their names for consideration. Because the fellowship program aims to support the social sciences and humanities, proposals should “incorporate historical precedents, cultural underpinnings, and/or moral arguments.” This fellowship is available only to U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

Faculty wishing to be considered for nomination should forward a CV and one-page project summary to Claudia Scholz by October 30, 2017.

If you are selected as the nominee, you must prepare a prospectus, budget, and summary, as well as submit your photo, CV, abridged CV and nomination letter by November 17, 2017.  Fellows will be selected by April 2018.

Projects must be research-based and fall into one of the eligible topic areas:
