Sylvia Naish Fellowships and Scholarships in Germanic Studies

Endowed by a generous bequest from the estate of Sylvia Naish, up to two Fellowships or Scholarships are offered annually for research into any area of German language and literature at the ILCS and its Germanic Studies Library and Archives. The awards are designed to assist scholars by providing a contribution to temporary living expenses in London, or enabling those in employment to take leave to further their research. Fellowships/Scholarships should not be held concurrently with another fellowship or award.

Sylvia Naish Fellowships

Sylvia Naish Research Fellowships provide funding of up to £2,500 and are open to post-doctoral applicants domiciled in the UK or abroad, who wish to spend a minimum of one month at the Institute. Preference will be given to applicants who have a strong publications record.
