The Instituto Franklin of the Universidad de Alcalá, within the framework of its annual research plan, collaborates with the Spanish Association for American Studies (SAAS) in the granting of a scholarship of €1,600 to carry out a research stay in the Instituto Franklin-UAH.
The stay will last 15 days.
The scholarship will amount to €1,600 aimed at covering accommodation, transport, maintenance, office supplies, computer equipment, and bibliographic works proposed by the applicant.
The bibliographic works will remain property of the Instituto’s bibliographic fund, though the beneficiary will be allowed to use them for his/her research activities.
The bibliographic works shall be ordered at least four months before the stay.
The Instituto Franklin-UAH provides adequate study space, within its facilities, for the beneficiary.
The field of research shall be American Studies or be related to North America.
The candidate must be a full member of SAAS at the time of applying for at least one year at the moment of the application and must continue as members of the association for at least two years after receiving this aid.
The enjoyment of this scholarship is incompatible with any other public or private financial aid.
The selection will be made by a Committee elected for that purpose by the SAAS and Instituto Franklin-UAH Boards of Directors.
The name of the beneficiary shall be announced at the closing dinner of the conference (March-April every two years) and on the websites of SAAS and Instituto Franklin-UAH.
