Big Ten Academic Alliance Smithsonian Fellowship
The Big Ten Academic Alliance and the Smithsonian Institution (SI) invite fellowship applications for one-year fellowships to support research in residence at Smithsonian Institution facilities. Fellowships carry a stipend of $42,000 (stipends are prorated for periods of less than twelve months). All fields of study that are actively pursued by the museums and research organizations of the Smithsonian Institution are eligible.
How it Works
Under this fellowship program, the Smithsonian Institution and the Fellow’s university share the cost of support. Students enrolled at Big Ten Academic Alliance member universities apply directly via the Smithsonian Online Academic Appointment System (SOLAA). From 2017 forward, it will be possible for more than one award per campus. Fellowships awarded in future years could be as many as two dozen or more in one cycle.
