Historical Society of the Episcopal Church: Grant Opportunity
Mike Utzinger
The Historical Society
of the Episcopal Church invites applications from individual scholars and
academic and ecclesiastical groups for grants to support significant research,
conferences, and publications relating to the history of the Church of England,
the Anglican communion worldwide, and the Anglican and Episcopal churches in
North America.
These grants are usually
modest in amount: $1,000-$2,000 generally, though more or less may be awarded
depending on the number of awards given and the amount of funds actually
available in any particular year. Typical grants would include travel to
collections or resources, dissertation research, and seed money for larger
projects.
Applications must
include:
- A statement of the subject and
purpose of the project of no more than 500 words;
- A bibliography of the project,
no more than a single page;
- A concise curriculum vitae;
- A projected total budget for
the project and the specific amount requested (with a detailed statement
of how it will be used). If this is less than the total budget, it
must be made clear how a small grant would help and what other resources
are available or being pursued;
- At least two letters of
recommendation (in the case of a graduate student, we expect that one of
those letters will be from the project's main supervising professor);
- A sample of recent scholarly
writing (an article, essay, or chapter of no more than ten pages).
Applications must be
submitted by April 1st. Application materials should be uploaded in .pdf
format.

The Rev. Dr. Robyn M.
Neville, Chair of the Grants and Research Committee, will confirm receipt
within a week of submission.
Grants will be announced
July. It is expected that winners will make an appropriate submission
to Anglican and Episcopal History.
