FELLOWSHIPS OFFERED BY THE WILLIAM MORRIS SOCIETY IN THE UNITED STATES
The William Morris Society in the United States offers two fellowships: the Joseph R. Dunlap Memorial Fellowship and the William Morris Society Award.
Since 1996, the William Morris Society in the United States has offered an annual fellowship to support research and study on topics related to William Morris. In 2004, the fellowship was named in honor of the U. S. Society's departed founder, Joe Dunlap. The Joseph R. Dunlap Memorial Fellowship supports scholarly, creative, and translation projects about William Morris and his designs, writings, and other work. Up to $1,000 per year is granted to individuals (there can be multiple or partial awards) for research and other expenses, including travel to conferences. Projects may deal with any subject--biographical, literary, historical, social, artistic, political, typographical--relating to Morris, and may be scholarly or creative in nature. In addition, the Society encourages the submission of translations of Morris's works into languages other than English. For translation submissions, please send a copy of the translation (of the published version, if relevant), with a letter of reference from someone acquainted with both languages assessing the quality of the translation. Translations should have been completed within the past five years. We would like to place some portion of the translation on our web site if this is possible, but permission to do so is not a requirement for the award. We also encourage submission of teaching materials--especially lesson plans and course materials--suitable for use at the elementary, secondary, college or adult-education level. The Society would share teaching materials via the Society's site. For teaching materials, no letters of recommendation are needed, but we request that you enclose a cover letter describing the ways in which the materials might be (or already have been) used in learning situations.

Applications will be judged by at least three members of the Governing Committee, and results will be announced by 15 January. Kindly send applications to: Professor Florence Boos
Submissions by email are preferred, with supporting documents sent separately by regular post. Although recipients of the fellowship are not required to be members of the Society, we encourage everyone to join and to share in the benefits of membership. For more about the William Morris Society:
