Here’s the link for the online application: http://www.loc.gov/rr/asian/ftm.html. Deadline is midnight January 31, 2020. All research trips need to be completed before September 15, 2020. After notification, Asian Division staff will work with awardees on scheduling their trip to the Asian Reading Room.
The Moeson fellowship is open to undergraduate and graduate students, faculty at all levels, librarians, and independent scholars and researchers. Applications from outside the United States are accepted, but please be advised that the Library of Congress cannot assist in the procurement of any visa toward the use of this fellowship. Please share this announcement far and wide with your contacts.
