Fellowship for Research in the Humorous Arts of Caricature and Cartoon
Library of Congress/Swann Foundation
Deadline: 02/13/09

The Swann Foundation seeks to award 1 fellowship annually (with a stipend of up to $15,000) to assist the fellow in his/her ongoing scholarly research and writing projects in the field of caricature and cartoon. In lieu of 1 fellowship, the board has made smaller awards to several recipients in recent years due to the number, nature, and quality of fellowship applications. To be eligible, one must be a candidate for an MA or PhD degree in an accredited graduate program in a university in the US, Canada, or Mexico and working toward the completion of a dissertation or thesis for that degree, or be engaged in postgraduate research within 3 years of receiving an MA or PhD. Although research must be in the field of caricature and cartoon, there is no limitation regarding the place or time period covered.
