UCLA Institute of American Cultures Fellowships & Grants Applications Now Open

http://www.iac.ucla.edu/fellowships-grants/overview

APPLICATIONS OPEN for IAC Fellowships & Grants programs. Apply to be a Visiting Scholar, Grad/Predoc Fellow, or grantee!

The IAC has made funds available annually through its visiting scholar and fellowship programs and its research grants. These awards have resulted in the publication of hundreds of books, monographs, and articles as well as the completion of many dissertations, master’s theses, and MFA film projects.  They have contributed significantly to the fund of new knowledge about America’s underrepresented populations.

IAC visiting researcher/scholar and graduate/predoctoral fellowships are competitive awards that support scholarship on African Americans, American Indians, Asian Americans, and Chicanas/os. The acceptance of a fellowship carries with it a commitment to contribute to the research activities of the sponsoring ethnic studies research center and, in some cases, to teach a 10-week seminar based on the fellow’s research.
