HSSC Haynes Grant Announcement
THE HSSC/HAYNES RESEARCH STIPENDS
Dear HSSC
Members and Friends:
HSSC
is pleased to announce the application
guidelines for the Historical Society of Southern California’s
small grants program for Summer 2008. The grants, known as
HSSC/Haynes Research Stipends, are designed to support scholars who
have short-term financial needs.
The
Historical Society particularly encourages
younger scholars, doctoral candidates at the dissertation stage,
scholars in smaller local institutions, faculty from out-of-state
institutions working on projects that would benefit from a brief visit
for research, secondary school faculty who need summer awards
to do research, retired scholars who no longer have ties to their
former institutions, and unaffiliated scholars who need modest
financial support for their research so they can continue to publish.
The
grants are for a period of one to four weeks
at a stipend of $300 per week. The grants may be used to supplement
other grants and to pay for a variety of expenses related to research
on Los Angeles and/or southern California.
The
deadline for applications is an April 21, 2008
postmark. A committee of five will review the applications. The
Historical Society of Southern California thanks the John Randolph
Haynes and Dora Haynes Foundation for recognizing the need for such a
program. Awards will be announced on or before May 30, 2008.
If
a grant of this type will further your research
and writing on Los Angeles and southern California, I encourage you
to apply.
Thanks!
John O. Pohlmann, Ph.D. President,
Historical Society of Southern California
