The John Higham Research Fellowship offers two annual awards in memory of John Higham, past president of the OAH and an important figure in immigration, ethnic, and intellectual history. This fellowship is open to all graduate students writing doctoral dissertations for a PhD in American history. Applicants pursuing research in those fields most congenial to the research and writing interests of John Higham will receive special consideration. These topics include U.S. social and intellectual history broadly considered, with preference given to research projects on American immigration and ethnic history as well as American historiography and the cultural history of the 19th century United States. Applications should include the following components: (1) a project proposal describing the applicant's research project and detailing how the funds will be used; (2) an updated curriculum vitae with a list of the names and addresses of references; and (3) two signed letters of recommendation on official letterhead submitted independently by referees. Submit applications to Joel Zapata, Chair of the John Higham Research Fellowship. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Organization of American Historians for more information.
