Applicants are encouraged to apply for as many awards as they find themselves eligible for. Those applying for multiple awards should limit their letters of recommendation to a total of two. U.S citizenship is not required for any CLAGS award.

For all awards except the Monette-Horwitz Dissertation Prize, we prefer electronic submission by email of as many application materials as possible. Documents should be sent as attachments to the email in MS Word or PDF format. Only send us your application when it is complete and ready for submission (except for paper material that is sent separately). Changes, updates and amendments will not be accepted once the files have been received and confirmed.

We understand some application materials, such as published articles, may not be available in electronic format. If so, please mail six copies (6) of this material along with a cover letter explaining that the rest of your application has been, or will be, submitted electronically. If you are applying for two awards with the same application (e.g., Duberman and Heller-Bernard), please submit a total of eight (8) copies of each item.

We prefer all letters of recommendation to be sent by email directly from the recommender to CLAGSFellowships@gmail.com, with the letter itself attached to the email in MS Word or PDF format. Paper letters will be accepted when sent by a university or other institution that has its own process for handling letters of recommendation for the applicant, or if the recommender does not have access to an email account. In either case, please let CLAGS know that we should expect your letter(s) to arrive in paper format.

See the individual awards sections below for more specific application guidelines.

You should receive a confirmation of receipt of email submissions within 2-3 days of sending them. If you do not receive this confirmation, or if you submit materials by postal mail, feel free to contact the CLAGS office to make sure we received the material. For fellowship applications, we send final confirmations that applications have been processed and are verified as complete several weeks after the award deadline. We cannot verify that individual applications are complete prior to this time, only that we have received material from you.
