The John Higham Research Fellowship is open to all graduate students writing doctoral dissertations for a PhD in American history. Applicants pursuing research in those fields most congenial to the research and writing interests of John Higham will receive special consideration. These topics include U.S. social and intellectual history broadly considered, with preference given to research projects on American immigration and ethnic history as well as American historiography and the cultural history of the 19th century United States. Applicants must submit a project proposal describing their research project and detailing how the funds will be used; an updated curriculum vitae with a list of the names and addresses of references; and two signed letters of recommendation. Please visit the fellowship's website or contact the Metropolitan Museum of Art for more information.
