Fellowship of the Day: Met Art History Fellowships

Just received notice of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's 2007-08 fellowships. That's fellowships in the plural, because there are nine of them. Not all are suitable for graduate students, but the very generous Theodore Rousseau Fellowships ($30,000, plus $5000 for travel and expenses) are almost exclusively for grad students to support "first-hand examination of paintings in major European collections." Short-term fellowships for three months are also available.

Most of them encourage fellows to take advantage of the collections at the Met. There's no official application form, but you can find out more about the requirements here. Due date is Nov. 3, 2006.
