The Evelyn Dunbar and Ruth Dunbar Davee Fellowship is a long-term fellowship supporting scholarship in music related to the Newberry's collection. Having a PhD (or equivalent terminal degree) by the application deadline is required. Applicants must submit a Project Abstract describing the significance of their project; and a Project Description elaborating on the abstract and referencing specific published scholarship that their project will engage with. The description should also explain the relevance of certain Newberry collection materials to the project and include a plan of work. Three Letters of Recommendation, in English, that speak to the scholarly contribution of the proposed project, the value of a Newberry residency to the applicant, and the qualifications of the applicant must also be submitted. Long-term fellowships require three letters of recommendation. Please visit the fellowship's website for more information.
