Jamestown Scholars:
New Dissertation
Fellowships from the National Park
Service and OAH

In preparation for the 400th Anniversary of the Jamestown Colony in 2007,
and under a Cooperative Agreement with the National Park Service, OAH is
pleased to announce the Jamestown Scholars Dissertation Fellowship Program.
Awards will be made to support Ph.D. research that contributes to our
understanding of the development and legacy of  Seventeenth-Century
Jamestown, the first permanent English Colony in North America, where
diverse peoples from three continents came together.

Fellowship awards are $5,000 and can be used for any dissertation related
expenses.  Jamestown Scholars will have access to the NPS collections and
archives at Colonial National Historical Park, Virginia.

Competition is open to U.S. graduate students pursuing PH.D's in history,
American Studies, and related fields.  Proposals will be judged on
potential scholarly contribution to our understanding of the history of
Seventeenth-Century Jamestown, use of documentary evidence, and likelihood
of successful completion by 2006.

To apply, send four (4) copies of your c.v., a two-page abstract of the
dissertation project, and a letter of recommendation from your dissertation
adviser to:
