ACLS Fellowships and Language Grants in Southeast European Studies

ACLS competitions in Southeast European Studies are supported by funds appropriated by the U.S. Congress and administered by the Title VIII Program of the Department of State.  All awards are contingent upon final confirmation of funding.  

Fellowships and language grants may be used only for work on the following countries and their languages:  Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Macedonia, Romania, and Serbia and Montenegro (including Kosovo).  U.S. citizenship or permanent residence is required.  For more information about eligibility and selection criteria, please see:

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS:  Up to $25,000 for at least 6 consecutive months of research on Southeastern Europe between July 1, 2006 and September 1, 2007.  Applicants must hold the Ph.D. degree by the application deadline.  Grants are intended primarily as salary replacement to provide time free for research and writing.  Applicants for postdoctoral grants in Southeast European studies (and anyone whose work pertains to East European countries no longer eligible for Title VIII funding) should consider applying to the ACLS core fellowship programs.   

DISSERTATION FELLOWSHIPS:  One-year grants, with a stipend of up to $17,000, for dissertation writing on topics related to Southeastern Europe, to be conducted in the United States except for brief visits to the area.  Fellowship periods must begin between June 1 and September 1, 2006.
