Woodrow Wilson Center Fellowships in the Humanities and Social Sciences

Assistance Considerations

Length and Time Phasing of Assistance:
Stipends cover the length of the residential fellowship.

Formula and Matching Requirements:
The Woodrow Wilson Center seeks to follow the principle of no gain/no loss in terms of a fellow's previous year's salary. However, limited funds make it essential for most applicants to seek supplementary sources of funding: sabbatical support, other fellowships, or foundation grants. Each fellow is assigned a furnished office available every day around the clock. The Center's main offices are located in the heart of Washington, DC. Professional librarians provide access to the Library of Congress, university and special libraries in the area, and other research facilities. Windows-based personal computers or manuscript-typing services are available, and each fellow is offered a part-time research assistant. Publishing services are available through the Woodrow Wilson Center Press, which co-publishes with Cambridge University Press, the Johns Hopkins University Press, Indiana University Press, and the Stanford University Press.
