The Metropolitan Museum of Art--Theodore Rousseau Fellowships 1999-2000
					
Annual fellowships made possible by a bequest from the late
Curator-in-Chief of the Museum are awarded for the training of 
students whose goal is to enter museums as curators of painting, 
by enabling them to undertake related study in Europe. The purpose 
of these fellowships is to develop the skills of connoisseurship by
supporting first-hand examination of paintings in major European
collections, rather than to support library research for the 
completion of degree requirements. 

Eligibility: Applicants should have been enrolled for at least one
     year in an advanced degree program in the field of art history.

Period: Short-term fellowships of at least three months will be 
     considered along with twelve month requests. All fellowships must
     take place between September 1, 1999 and August 31, 2000.

Award: The stipend amount for twelve months is $18,000 and $3,000 for
     travel.

Deadline: November 6, 1998
