Grant Description

Fellowships providing a stipend of up to $5,000 to USA, Canada, and Mexico master degree students, doctoral candidates, and postgraduate scholars to support ongoing writing projects and research in art. Applicants can be from any discipline or university department provided the subject pertains to caricature or cartoon art. Eligible applicants must be engaged in dissertation or thesis research, or postgraduate research within three years of graduation.

In the interest of increasing awareness and extending documentation of Library of Congress collections, fellows are required to make use of the Library's extensive collections, be in residence for at least two weeks during the award period, and deliver a public lecture on his/her work-in-progress at that time. Each recipient must also provide a copy of their dissertation, thesis, or postgraduate publication, upon its completion, for the Swann Foundation Fund files.

Individuals who are not U.S. residents but who otherwise meet the above academic qualifications may also apply and be considered for a fellowship, contingent upon the applicant's visa eligibility.

Although research must focus on caricature and cartoon, there is no limitation regarding the place or time period covered.
