Applications are invited for the 2012 Swann Foundation Fellowships. The Library of Congress administers the fellowships (up to $15,000 or smaller awards), which are awarded to candidates for an MA or PhD degree in an accredited graduate program in a university in the United States, Canada, or Mexico, for pursuing research in caricature and cartoon at the Library. Recent MA and PhD degree holders may also apply. Applications should be sent by February 15, 2012. Details about the fellowships and the application process can be found at online here. Information about the Swann Foundation and a list of previously funded projects can be found here. Questions regarding the fellowships can be e-mailed to swann@loc.gov.
