The Barbara Bates Center for the Study of the History of Nursing offers a fellowship of $2,500 to support two weeks in residence at the Center and ongoing collaboration with nurse historians here.  Selection of Alice Fisher Society scholars will be based on evidence of interest in and aptitude for historical research related to nursing.  The scholarships are open to those with masters’ and doctoral level preparation.  It is expected that the research and new materials produced by Alice Fisher Society scholars will help ensure the growth of scholarly work focused on the history of nursing. Fisher scholars will participate in Center activities and will present their research at a Center seminar. Deadline for submissions is December 31, 2008. See this PDF for more information on how to apply.
