American Philosophical Society (APS)

APS Sabbatical Fellowships

The Society’s program of sabbatical fellowships will conclude with the applications accepted for the October 15, 2009, deadline. We are very pleased that, by the close of the program, we will have awarded more than 220 fellowships in a 12-year period. With the continued support of the Mellon Foundation, the APS will then make changes in its program of grants and fellowships to best serve the needs of the greatest number of scholars. Information will be posted at this website as it becomes available. Since 1998 the American Philosophical Society has conducted a program of fellowships in the humanities and social sciences, generously supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, which is designed to supplement an awarded sabbatical/research leave. In 2008-2009 the Society awarded 16 sabbatical fellowships.
