The American-Scandinavian Foundation--Awards For Study in Scandinavia

The American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF) is a publicly supported,
nonprofit organization that promotes international understanding
through educational and cultural exchange with Denmark, Finland,
Iceland, Norway and Sweden. Through its awards programs, the ASF
encourages lasting academic, professional and personal ties 
between the U.S. and Scandinavia. The ASF offers fellowships and
grants to individuals to pursue research or study in one or more
Scandinavian countries for up to one year. Awards are made in all
fields.

Grants are considered especially suitable for post-graduate scholars,
professionals, and candidates in the arts to carry out research or 
study visits of one to three months. 

Fellowships are intended to support a year-long stay. Priority is 
given to candidates at the graduate level for dissertation-related
study or research.

Eligibility: Applicants must have a well-defined research or
    study project that makes a stay in Scandinavia essential.
    Applicants must be United States citizens or permanent 
    residents who have completed their undergraduate education.
    All candidates must have at least some ability in the 
    language of the host country, even if it is not essential
    for the execution of the research.

Period: Projects should be planned to fall within the summer 2001
    - summer 2002 period.

Awards: $3,000 to $18,000. The awards support project-related 
    costs, including maintenance, trans-Atlantic round-trip 
    travel, in-country travel, tuition and fees (where applicable) 
    and materials expenditure (e.g., books, photocopying, art 
    supplies).

Deadline: November 1, 2000
