The Mississippi Department of Archives and History (MDAH) offers the Eudora Welty Research Fellowship in partnership with the Eudora Welty Foundation. This annual fellowship awards a $5,000 stipend to one graduate student to conduct research using the Eudora Welty Collection at MDAH for two weeks during the summer. The fellowship seeks to nurture scholars at the beginning of their academic careers to increase their lifelong interest in, and promote continued academic and public appreciation of, Eudora Welty’s life and works. The fellowship recipient must be enrolled in a graduate program at an accredited college or university.
