IAS Stefansson Fellowship
 The Institute of Arctic Studies, within the John Sloan
Dickey Center for International Understanding, annually awards the Stefansson
Fellowship to a student (or occasionally a junior faculty member) whose
research requires travel to a polar location. The fellowship currently carries
a stipend of up to $3,000.
The objective of the Stefansson Fellowship is to provide opportunities for
younger scholars to acquire field experience under Arctic conditions and to
carry out research projects that would not be feasible on the basis of library
research alone. Individual projects may deal with topics belonging to any field
of study represented in the Dartmouth curriculum (including the professional
schools). In the evaluation of proposed projects, preference will be given to
those who exhibit an awareness of prior research relating to the topic chosen,
offer a persuasive rationale for the value of field research in a particular
Arctic location, and involve work whose implications extend beyond the confines
of the American Arctic. more...
