Graduate Student Fellowships at the Western Historical Quarterly

Applications are now welcome for the Robert M. Utley Fellowship

For 2014-2015, a total stipend of $14,000, tuition awards, health insurance, and summer research funds will be awarded.

The Editorial Fellow must enroll in USU's master's program in history. Duties at the Western Historical Quarterly (WHQ) include 20 hours a week, beginning in August, helping to select, prepare, and copyread manuscripts. The fellowship may be retained for a second year (2015-16) depending upon satisfactory progress toward the master's degree and acceptable completion of editorial assignments. During the summer of 2015, the editorial fellow will work 20 hours a week at the WHQ, with time off for research.

Applicants should send a letter of interest and a writing sample directly to the editor of the WHQ. The full application, including three letters of recommendation to the USU School of Graduate Studies, will suffice to complete the needed materials. All documents should be postmarked no later than 1 February 2014. Applicants will be notified by early March.

NOTE: The S. George Ellsworth Fellowship and the Robert M. Utley Fellowship are awarded by the WHQ in alternating years.
