Awards up to $500 are made to graduate students and post-doctoral students;
established scholars are eligible for awards of up to $1000.  Approximately
$3,000 in grants is available each year.

Travel grants are awarded on a competitive basis to applicants who are

in a number of subject fields reflecting the strengths of Archives & Special
Collections:  Alternative Press, American Literature, Business History,
Connecticut History, Children's Literature, Hispanic Culture & History,
Human Rights, Labor History, Natural History, and Nursing History.  Criteria
for selection include the significance of the individual's research project,
his or her scholarly research credentials and letters of support, and an
identified need to use the Dodd Center collections.
