Oct 01, 1997 The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars
seeks to commemorate through its residential fellowship program both
the scholarly depth and the public concerns of Woodrow Wilson. As
President Wilson wrote, "The man who has the time, the discrimination,
and the sagacity to collect and comprehend the principal facts, and
the man who must act upon them, must draw near to one another and feel
that they are engaged in a common enterprise." The Center awards
approximately 35 fellowships annually in an international competition
to individuals with outstanding project proposals representing the
entire range of scholarship, with a strong emphasis on the humanities
and social sciences. The Center especially welcomes projects that
transcend narrow specialties. STIPEND. The Woodrow Wilson Center
seeks to follow the principle of no gain/no loss in terms of a
Fellow's previous year's salary. However, the combination of limited
funds and a ceiling established by the U.S. Congress makes it
essential for most applicants to seek supplementary sources of
funding: sabbatical support, other fellowships, or foundation grants.
In no case can the Center's stipend exceed $62,000; the average yearly
stipend is approximately $43,000. In addition, the Center provides
travel expenses and 75% of health insurance premiums for Fellows,
their spouses, and their dependent children. FURTHER INFORMATION AND
APPLICATION FORMS MAY BE OBTAINED FROM: The Fellowships Office, The
Woodrow Wilson Center, 1000 Jefferson Drive SW, SI MRC 022, Washington
