a dissertation, or that is part of the dissertation project after admission to
candidacy. The level of the grant will be contingent on the itemized costs in
the proposal. For students who hold fellowships during the grant period, living
expenses will not be covered under this grant unless the research will take the
student far from campus and thereby add living expenses to the cost of the
project. Awardees will submit a brief report upon completion of their research grant.

Comments:Inaugurated in 1986, the Capitol Fellowship Program has provided financial support to more than fifty scholars researching important topics in the art and architectural history of the United States Capitol Complex.

Graduate Students enrolled in a degree program in art or architectural history, American history, American studies, museum studies, or decorative arts, and scholars with a proven record of research and publication may apply. The proposed topic must directly relate to some elements of art or architecture within the United States Capitol complex: the Capitol, the congressional office buildings, the Library of Congress buildings, the Supreme Court buildings, and the Botanic Garden. Depending upon the scope of the proposal, the fellowship may be requested for a minimum of one month and a maximum of one year. The fellowship amount is $2,500 per month, up to a maximum of $30,000 for a full year, pending the availability of funding.
