Travel and Research Grants

Grant Guidelines: PDF or Word | Application Form: PDF or Word

Penn State Harrisburg has established a new grant program to support visiting scholars and graduate students who need to use materials held by Archives and Special Collections in the Penn State Harrisburg Library. The travel and research grant program encourages scholarly use of the repository's premier collection, the Alice K. Marshall Women's History Collection, considered to be one of the largest privately-compiled research collections on women's history in the United States.

One or more grants will be awarded with stipends between $500 and $3,000 to cover travel, overnight accommodations, and other research-related expenses. Research topics are not limited to women's history, but they must require significant use of the repository's holdings. The deadline for the receipt of 2008-2009 applications is May 1, 2008. Recipients will be notified by late May 2008.

For more information, please see the grant guidelines (available in PDF or Word file formats) and application form (PDF or Word), or contact Heidi N. Abbey, humanities reference librarian and archivist (717-948-6056, hna2@psu.edu).
