AANS Scholarship

 

The AANS is offering one grant of $1,000 in support of graduate research in the field of Netherlandic studies, to be conducted in the Netherlands or Belgium, during the academic year 2005-2006. Under exceptional circumstances, an additional scholarship may be awarded.

 

The field of Netherlandic studies is broadly defined and includes research on aspects of Dutch culture as they relate to Indonesia or South Africa, or research on the Afrikaans language. The grant is intended for citizens or residents of the United States who study at an American university. Preference is given to those scholars who do not receive support from their home institutions.

 

Applicants must submit a proposal of at least two pages, a timetable, a budget, two letters of recommendation, a curriculum vitae, and a set of transcripts. The proposal should establish the scholarly contribution and significance of the project, its relevance to the applicant's professional goals, and progress already made.

 

Applications for the academic year 2005-2006 must reach the AANS by February 15, 2005. The selection committee will consist of members of the Executive Council of the AANS.
