The Emily Dickinson International Society invites applications for the 2016 Dickinson Scholar Award, which supports new research on Dickinson. The project need not be devoted solely to Dickinson, but her work should be a substantial focus. The award of $2,000 may be used for any expense incurred to advance the project. Preference will be given to applicants with completed PhDs who are in the early stages of their careers. To apply for the award, please submit: a cv, a cover letter, a 600-800 word project proposal, a brief bibliography, and a preliminary budget to ecr@email.unc.edu. Deadline for applications is January 15, 2016. Applicants will be notified of final decisions by March 1.
