Every week, AHA Today showcases a new grant, fellowship, or scholarship of interest to historians which has been posted to our free Calendar. This week we are featuring ACLS Fellowship and Grant Programs. 

The 2017–18 ACLS competitions are now open for many programs. The American Council of Learned Societies offers fellowship and grant programs that promote the full spectrum of humanities and humanistic social sciences research and support scholars at the advanced graduate student level through all stages of the academic career.
