Henry Belin du Pont Fellowships
Fellowships honor the memory of Henry Belin du Pont, a founding trustee and long-time supporter of Hagley. The Henry Belin du Pont Memorial Fund supports access to and use of Hagley's research collections. These fellowships are intended to support serious scholarly work. They enable scholars to pursue advanced research and study in the library, archival, and artifact collections of the Hagley Museum and Library. Applicants must be from out of state and preference will be given to those whose travel costs to Hagley will be higher. Fellows are expected to participate in seminars which meet periodically, as well as attend noontime colloquia, lectures, and other public programs offered during their tenure. Low-cost accommodations may be available on the museum grounds. Stipends are for a minimum of two months and a maximum of six months at no more that $1,600 per month.
