The Duberman-Zal Fellowship is awarded to a graduate student, an independent scholar, or an adjunct from any country doing scholarly research on the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ) experience. University affiliation is not necessary. The winner of the fellowship may be asked to participate in CLAGS's programming the following academic year to present their research project. A cover letter with the applicant's contact information (address, phone number, and e-mail), the title of their project, the names of their recommenders, and the fellowship they are applying for is required. Two letters of recommendation must also be submitted. The letters of recommendation should be sent directly by the recommenders. Please visit the award's website or contact CLAGS for more information.
