Applicants are urged to arrange their academic or professional affiliations in Scandinavia as far in advance as possible. The ASF requires confirmation of invitation or affiliation from the institutions or individuals detailed in the proposal. Since July and August are traditionally holiday months in Scandinavia, many people may not be available for consultation. Applicants are cautioned to plan their projects accordingly. Applicants are expected to devote full time to their proposed study or research, and must justify the length of time needed to complete their project.
Priority is given to candidates at the graduate level for dissertation-related study or research.
Candidates must notify the ASF if they have received other award offers. The ASF will not provide funds if, in its judgement, a proposal can be carried out without its assistance. Only applications on the current forms will be considered. The deadline is November 1, 2000. Complete applications and all supporting materials must reach the ASF by this date.
