Fellowships and junior fellowships support scholars and degree candidates in Byzantine, Pre-Columbian, and Garden and Landscape Studies to conduct full-time research at Dumbarton Oaks. Awards fund interdisciplinary projects using extensive library, museum, and archival resources. Support includes on-site housing, health insurance options, travel, and J-1 visa sponsorship. Fellowships require residence during academic terms and focus on scholarly projects without other major commitments.
Eligible applicants include individuals with terminal degrees for fellowships and degree candidates working on dissertations or final projects for junior fellowships. Graduate students without a PhD by the deadline must apply as junior fellows.
