The University Libraries will begin accepting applications for this year’s Fenwick Fellow competition on Thursday, April 1. The Fellowship is awarded annually to eligible Mason faculty members to support a research project that uses and enhances the Libraries’ resources while advancing knowledge in his or her field.

Up to two Fellowships of $5,000 each may be awarded. The program guidelines include funding for an additional fellowship for a project proposal that specifically aligns with the Libraries’ initiatives in the area of digital scholarship. For the full announcement and application details, visit the program site.

The application deadline is Tuesday, June 1, 2021, and the awardee(s) will be announced at the start of the Fall academic term. In the Spring term following the completed fellowship, the University Libraries sponsors a public lecture in which the Fellows present the results of their research.
