Each year, postdoctoral researchers and graduate students from across the country and around the world apply for the visiting scholar fellowships, which support research in all areas of the Beinecke Library’s rich collections. Fellowships provide scholars who live outside of the New Haven area access to the library, travel to and from New Haven, and a living allowance.
