Supported by "The Institut Français d’Amérique Fund,” the Society for French Historical Studies offers the Gilbert Chinard Fellowship and the Edouard Morot-Sir Fellowship (up to $1,500 per award) for maintenance during research in France for a period of at least one month. Whereas the Chinard will support research in all areas of French historical and cultural studies, the Morot-Sir will give preference to young scholars working in a broadly defined field of cultural history, art history, or literary studies.
Candidates should be working on PhD dissertations, or they should have received the PhD no longer than three years before the application deadline(since January 2016for the 2019 award). These awards are not for travel to or from France.
