Anne Ray Fellowship
One fellowship is available for an established Native American scholar, working in the humanities, arts, or the sciences, who has a commitment to providing mentorship to recent graduates or graduate students. In addition to working on their own research, the Anne Ray Resident Scholar serves as a mentor to two interns working at the Indian Arts Research Center. Fellows receive a $40,000 stipend and housing and office space on the SAR campus. This fellowship is made possible through the generous support of the Anne Ray Charitable Trust.
