American Scandinavian Foundation--Grants/Fellowships for Advanced Research  

The American Scandinavian Foundation's goal is to promote international
understanding through educational and cultural exchange with Denmark,
Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Through its Grants and Fellowships 
for Advanced Study or Research program, ASF encourages lasting academic,
professional and personal ties between the U.S. and Scandinavia.
The grants and fellowships are open to all fields of study. 

Eligibility: US citizens and permanent residents may apply. Applicants 
     must have completed their undergraduate degree by the start of their
     projects. A well-defined research or study project that makes stay
     in Scandinavia essential, is required by all applicants. All
     candidates must have at least some ability in the language of the
     host country, even if it isn't essential for the execution of the 
     research plan. Applicants must arrange their academic or professional 
     affiliations in Scandinavia as far in advance as possible.

Period: Up to one year. Between Summer 2000 and Summer 2001.

Stipend: Awards range from Grants (normally $3,000) to Fellowships (up
    to $18,000). The awards support project-related costs, including
    maintenance, round-trip air travel, in country travel, tuition and
    fees and materials expenditures. Awardees are encouraged to acquire
    supplemental support from other sources. 

Deadline: November 1 (annually)
