Paloheimo Foundation Fellowship

One nine-month residential fellowship created to honor the legacy of the three women of the Acequia Madre House, Eva Scott Fényes, Leonora Scott Muse Curtin, and Leonora Curtin Paloheimo, is available for scholars working in the humanities or social sciences. PhD candidates who plan to write their dissertations are eligible. Fellows receive a stipend of $35,000 in addition to low-cost housing and free office space on the SAR campus.

For more information, please contact scholar@sarsf.org.

This fellowship is made possible through the generous support of the Paloheimo Foundation.

Please Note: SAR allows fellows to bring their companion animals to campus but our accommodations are limited to two SMALL animals.  We allow only cats and dogs on the premises.
