>FUNDING
> Fellowships are tenable for periods from six to eleven months at a
>stipend of $4,000 per month for residential research at the Library of
>Congress. The constraints of space and the desirability of
>accommodating the maximum number of Fellows may lead to an offer of
>fewer months than originally requested. Fellows may be in residence at
>any time during the fourteen-month window between June 1 of the year
>in which the Fellowship is awarded and August 1 of the year following.
>Stipends will be paid monthly by the Library of Congress, by means of
>electronic transfer to a U.S. bank account. Up to twelve Kluge
>Fellowships will be awarded annually by the Library of Congress.
