CAUL/ASA Fellowships

Applications are now open for 2014 Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL) and Australian Society of Authors (ASA) Fellowships. Applications are due on 10 May, 2014.

The Fellowships showcase special collections in Australian university libraries by providing artists, authors, scholars and researchers with an opportunity to work on projects that will benefit from concentrated access to these collections. The inaugural Fellowships to be awarded in 2014 have been made possible through the Copyright Agency Cultural Fund. CAUL and the ASA expect to award up to two fellowships in 2014. The Fellowships will facilitate access to University libraries’ special collections by providing up to A$10,000 in non-salary funding for visiting artists, authors, scholars and researchers working on projects related to the collections. The grants could be used for travel, accommodation or other project related expenses. Applications are invited from artists, authors, scholars and researchers from Australia. Host institutions for 2014 awards will be among the following:
Library Applicants are advised to read the information for applicants before completing the application form.
