The Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation (FAIC) is currently accepting applications for the Kress Conservation Fellowship program. The program provides competitive grants to museums, libraries, and other conservation facilities to sponsor supervised fellowships to develop the skills of emerging conservators. Applications are due January 22, 2019.
Fellowships of $32,000 will be award for one-year post-graduate internships in advanced conservation at a museum, library, or other conservation facility. The full $32,000 must be allocated as a fellowship stipend. Payroll taxes may be withheld from the $32,000, but any other benefits, travel or education reimbursement, or administrative costs must be met by the institution or other funding. Grant funds may not be used for indirect costs. Most Fellowships begin in late summer or early fall, and run for a term of 9 to 12 months. A report, whether interim or final, will be due from the host institution in September of the year following the award. Applications must be made by the museum or conservation facility at which the internship will be based. Fellows should have completed (or will complete prior to the Fellowship) a masters-level degree in conservation prior to beginning the Fellowship. Fellows must be either a resident or citizen of the U.S. or Canada, or a recent graduate from a conservation graduate program in the U.S. or Canada. The Fellowship candidate may be identified in advance of application by the host institution or recruited subsequently. Priority is given to first-year requests, but outstanding projects that clearly outline benefits to the Fellow for a second year of Fellowship can be and have been funded.
