The Institute for Research in the Humanities at the University of Wisconsin–Madison is pleased to offer four Solmsen Fellowships for an academic year. To be awarded to scholars from outside the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Solmsen Fellows are expected to reside at the IRH throughout the academic year. The award provides a stipend of $60,000, office space, support services, and access to all university facilities.
