American Philosophical Society Fellowships

In collaboration with the British Academy, the APS offers an exchange postdoctoral fellowship for a minimum of one and a maximum of two months’ research in the archives and libraries of London. This award includes travel expenses between the United States and United Kingdom and a monthly subsistence paid by the APS. Candidates should use the Franklin application form, specifying that they are asking for the British Academy Fellowship, and apply by October 1; applicants not selected for the British Academy Fellowship will be considered for a Franklin Research Grant.

In 2017–2018 the Society awarded over $1.2 million to nearly 200 scholars, and we expect to continue this level of support. We maintain eight grant or fellowship programs in a wide range of fields. Our Franklin, Lewis and Clark, Lewis and Clark Astrobiology, Library Fellowship, and Phillips programs award small grants ($1,000 to $6,000) for modest research purposes. Our Daland and Mellon Post-Doctoral Fellowship programs award much larger amounts ($25,000–$45,000) in highly selective competitions.
