- Be a citizen, national, or permanent resident of the United States.

The American Research Institute in Turkey (ARIT) will offer ARIT fellowships for research in Turkey for the academic year 2010-2011. The fellowships fund individuals engaged in research on ancient, medieval, or modern times in Turkey, in any field of the humanities and social sciences. ARIT operates hostel, research, and study facilities for researchers in Turkey at its branch centers in Istanbul and Ankara. ARIT’s fellowship program is funded by the United States Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA). Scholars and advanced graduate students are eligible. Student applicants must have fulfilled all requirements for the doctorate except the dissertation by June 2010, and before beginning any ARIT-sponsored research. Non-U.S. applicants are expected to maintain an affiliation with an educational institution in the United States or Canada. Grants for tenures of up to one year will be considered; however, some preference is given to projects of shorter duration. The application deadline is November 1, 2009.
