Graduate Student Fellowships at the
Western Historical Quarterly

Applications are now welcome for the
S. George Ellsworth Editorial Fellowship

For 2009-2010, a total stipend of $14,000, an out-of-state tuition waiver, and summer research funds will be awarded.

The S. George Ellsworth Fellow must enroll in USU's master's program in history. Duties at the Western Historical Quarterly (WHQ) include 20 hours a week, beginning in August, helping to select, prepare, and copyread manuscripts. The fellowship may be retained for a second year, depending upon satisfactory progress toward the master's degree and acceptable completion of editorial assignments. During the summer of 2010, the editorial fellow will work 20 hours a week at the WHQ, with time off for research.

Applicants should send a letter of interest and a writing sample directly to the editor of the WHQ. The full application, including three letters of recommendation to the USU School of Graduate Studies, will suffice to complete the needed materials. All documents should be postmarked no later than 1 February 2009. Applicants will be notified in early April.

NOTE: The S. George Ellsworth Fellowship and the Robert M. Utley Fellowship are awarded in alternating years.
