About the Programme
The Frederick Burkhardt Residential Fellowships for Recently
Tenured Scholars Programme is conducted by the
American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) in collaboration
with a number of partnering residential research
centres both in the United States and Europe, including the
Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study (SCAS). The
programme supports long-term, exceptionally ambitious
projects in the humanities and related social sciences.
The
ultimate goal of the project should be a major scholarly
work by the applicant.
The Burkhardt Fellowship Programme is open to recently tenured humanist scholars who will have begun their
first tenured contracts by the application deadline but no earlier than within the specified time limit (usually
approximately four years before the time of application). An applicant must hold a tenured position at a degree-
granting institution in the United States, remaining so for the duration of the fellowship. U.S. citizenship or
permanent residency is not required.
It is no longer possible to apply for this programme.
