About the Application
- If selected as a fellow, will UT Austin pay my salary through my institution rather than paying me directly?
Unfortunately we are unable to pay fellows' salaries through their home institutions. We are required by university policy to pay fellows directly.
- Can applications be submitted for future years (i.e., the year after the one being considered)?
Unfortunately, only applications for the year ahead will be considered. (See Resident Fellowships page for applicable year deadlines.)
- Is "Ph.D. in hand" required at the time of application, or does it just need to be in hand before the fellowship begins?
Applicants for the junior fellowships must have Ph.D.s in hand by December 31 preceding the year of the fellowship. (See Fellowships page for applicable year deadlines.
- Can application materials be sent electronically (project proposal, CV, and letters of rec?)
Yes, we prefer to receive materials by e-mail at historyinstitute@austin.utexas.edu.
