If you have your Ph.D., are within five years of receiving it, and are preparing your dissertation research for publication, you should request a Richard Carley Hunt Fellowship application. This rate is not fixed and can change depending on the overall quality of the applications received at any given deadline. Post-Ph.D. and Hunt Fellowship applicants may apply as Independent Scholars. Dissertation Fieldwork applicants, however, must be enrolled in an accredited Ph.D. program. We do not use transcripts or letters of recommendation in our review process, and they cannot be returned.
Qualified individuals are eligible without regard to nationality or institutional affiliation.
My supervisor is out of town and can't sign my application. We prefer the application be completed, with all the required signatures, at the time of submission. However, if this isn't possible, sign Page 2 yourself, and then send it to your supervisor. Your supervisor should still have a copy of your application and be familiar with it. Two individuals working on the same project may apply individually - however, in this case any overlapping budget items would be removed should both be approved for funding.
