Northern Illinois University Libraries announces a two-week research fellowship for international scholars to delve into the Southeast Asia Collection, funded by the Dr. James B. Pick and Dr. Rosalyn Laudati Endowment. With financial support up to $5,500 covering airfare, accommodation, and more, this opportunity aims to support research where Southeast Asia materials are scarce. Fellows are expected to give a talk, potentially contribute to Huskie Commons, and credit the endowment in publications. Applications are open until March 31, 2024, for the academic year 2024-2025.
Northern Illinois University (NIU) Libraries invites international scholars to come to the library for a two week research opportunity, using library materials in the Southeast Asia Collection. The fellowship aims to assist researchers from countries where Southeast Asia materials are limited or not readily available for research. Generously funded by the Dr. James B. Pick and Dr. Rosalyn Laudati Endowment, this fellowship offers financial support of up to $5,500 to cover international airfare, accommodation, visa fees, health insurance, and a living stipend for two weeks.
NIU will provide a letter of invitation that the fellow may use to apply for a visa to travel to the United States. It is the responsibility of the fellow to obtain the visa, including paying for visa fees in advance. NIU will manage travel arrangements, including booking international flight tickets, arranging ground transportation between Chicago and NIU, and reserving accommodations at the NIU Holmes Student Center for the fellow. NIU Libraries will provide a workspace in the library and research assistance to the fellow.
