The Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Study (SASS) is pleased to offer the Einar and Eva Lund Haugen Memorial Scholarship in support of graduate student research. Honoring the ground-breaking cultural and linguistic work of Einar and Eva Lund Haugen, this $7,500 annual scholarship supports Ph.D. candidates as they conduct research and fieldwork about Nordic or Nordic-American topics in the Social Sciences or History, broadly defined. We are especially excited to support applicants that demonstrate a need to travel to the Nordic region or areas in North America far from their home institutions to conduct research in archives, libraries, and museums or to pursue fieldwork or excavations.
To apply, you must be:
- An enrolled Ph.D. candidate in North America by the time you receive funding (a successful applicant must prove completion of course work and preliminary requirements for a doctoral degree before receiving the grant)
- A member in good standing of the Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Study, both during the year in which you submit your application and in the year of funding
- Conducting research or fieldwork about the Nordic region or Nordic America (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sápmi, Sweden, as well as the Nordic-immigrant communities found through North America)
- Researching in the social sciences or history (we encourage you to think broadly about these fields, which can include archaeology, art history, folklore, linguistics, media studies, oral history, philology, etc.)
