The Florence Tan Moeson Fellowship Program
The Asian Division of the Library of Congress is pleased to announce
the annual Florence Tan Moeson Fellowship. This fellowship
is made possible by the generous donation by Mrs. Florence Tan
Moeson,
a former cataloger in the Chinese Team of the Regional and Cooperative
Cataloging Division for 45 years.
The purpose of the fellowship is to provide individuals with the
opportunity to pursue research on East, Southeast, and/or South
Asia (including the overseas Asian communities), using the unparalleled
collections of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. The
grants are for a minimum of five business days of research and
are to be used to cover expenses incurred while engaging in scholastic
research at the Library of Congress, in the area of Asian
studies (e.g., travel to and from Washington, overnight accommodations,
photocopying). Up to 15 fellowships, with amounts varying from
$300 to $2,500, will be awarded. Graduate students, independent
scholars, community college teachers, researchers without regular
teaching appointments, and librarians are especially encouraged
to apply.
Further application details is described in the Florence
Tan Moeson Fellowship Brochure. Applications
are accepted on-line only and must be submitted
between July 1st and September 30th every year.
The awards will be announced later in December.
