> Cuban Heritage Collection Fellowships
> The Cuban Heritage Collection (CHC) Fellowships provide assistance
> to graduate students who wish to use the research resources
> available at the Cuban Heritage Collection at the University of
> Miami. Fellowships are available to graduate students from the
> United States and abroad. The goal of the CHC Fellowships is to
> engage emerging scholars with the materials available in the Cuban
> Heritage Collection and thus contribute to the larger body of
> scholarship in Cuban, hemispheric, and international studies.

> Approximately 12 fellowships will be awarded annually in two
> categories:

> the Cuban Heritage Collection as a primary resource for a
> dissertation. Graduate students applying for these fellowships will
> have completed their course work and passed their qualifying
> examinations. They will be prepared to pursue research based on an
> approved prospectus. Professional school students seeking these
> fellowships must be engaged in research for an approved culminating
> project required for their degree.

> fellowship and may not hold concurrent teaching positions.
> Fellowships of $3,000 a month will be granted for periods of one to

> determine how the Cuban Heritage Collection may serve their
> research needs as they prepare the dissertation prospectus.
> Fellowships of $1,500 will be granted for one month between June 1
> and August 31 of the calendar year. These are exploratory
> fellowships to determine if the Collection will support a
> dissertation.
