Fellowship Description
The Lanker Fellowship supports research in the Lanker archive by any interested party, including traveling researchers and individuals associated with the University of Oregon. Awards of $4,000 may be used to defray travel expenses, living expenses, or research costs. Fellows should be aware that, depending on their status and country of origin, the US government may consider their award taxable income. It is recommended that fellows familiarize themselves with their tax status and take necessary steps to plan for and pay any potential fees. Explore the contents of the collection here.
