Hill Monastic Manuscript Library

The Hill Monastic Manuscript Library invites applications for the Heckman Research Stipends, made possible by the A.A. Heckman Fund at the Library. Each year HMML awards up to thirteen such grants, in amounts ranging up to $1500. Stipends may be used toward the cost of travel, room and board, microfilm reproduction, photo-duplication and a minimum of two weeks up to six months. Graduate or post-doctoral scholars (those who are within three years of completing a terminal master’s or doctoral degree) are eligible. The program is specifically intended to help scholars who have not yet established themselves professionally and whose research cannot progress satisfactorily without consulting materials to be found in the collections of the Hill Monastic Manuscript Library. Scholars may consult the Library's website for further information, including a partial electronic inventory of its collections.

Grants are awarded twice each year, with application deadlines of 15 April for research in June to December and 15 October for research in January to June.
