Application Deadline: April 1, 2008

The Library Scholars program provides short-term fellowships enabling faculty members from universities in the United States to use the resources of the Latin American Library collections at Harvard. The grants are intended for scholars from two- and four-year U.S. educational institutions who do not have access to extensive Latin American library resources. The program is supported with funding from the U.S. Department of Education's Title VI grant.

Awards of up to $2,000 are available to help cover the travel and living expenses of visiting researchers. Awardees are expected to carry out their research at Harvard for at least two weeks.

Application Procedure: To apply for a summer Library Scholars grant, please send the following to the Outreach/Publications Manager before April 1, 2008:

The project proposal (2-3 pages) should include a brief description of the intended research, and should explain the specific Latin American resources in the Harvard University library collection to be consulted.
