The Renaissance Society of America is pleased to announce that our 2020 Research Fellowships competition is now open. For the 2020 cycle, the RSA will award fellowships of $3,000 to scholars working in the field of Renaissance studies (1300–1700). Fellowships are made possible by donations and bequests from RSA members and grants from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation.
A link to the application site and details about the application process, eligibility, residential fellowships, non-residential fellowships, and publication subventions are available on the RSA Fellowships webpage. The deadline to apply is 15 September 2019.
To submit an application, you must be a current RSA member. If you are not a current member, please renew your membership before applying for a fellowship. RSA memberships are valid for a full twelve months from the time of renewal.
Model proposals and statistics about previous fellowship cycles available on the RSA Fellowships webpage provide additional information about the application process.
During the past five years, the RSA has awarded fellowships to more than 100 scholars at all career stages, working on topics from the fourteenth to the seventeenth century in many different fields. A list of previous award winners is posted on the RSA website.
