The Dagmar and
Nils William Olsson Fellowship
This annual fellowship
is designed to help defray costs for one person doing research for an extended period of
time at the Center and was established by Nils William Olsson, a leading authority in the
field of Swedish-American studies, and his wife Dagmar.
The fellowship, which
is in the amount of $1,500 (taxable income), is open to anyone doing academic research on any aspect of
Swedish-American history. It is not intended to be used for research on a person's
individual family history. We particularly encourage graduate students and younger
scholars to apply. The minimum stay required at the Swenson Center is three weeks, and the
fellowship must be used within one year of notification.
Anyone interested in
applying for the fellowship should submit a two- to three-page proposal to the Swenson
Center outlining the proposed research topic. The proposal should also include a current
curriculum vitae, as well as a statement showing how the resources of the Swenson Center
are appropriate for the particular project. The deadline for applications
is May 1, 2008.
