The Rye Research Fellowship is an unpaid, mentored professional development opportunity designed for students seeking meaningful experience in archival research, public policy, and museum practice. Fellows work closely with the Rye Historical Society leadership and gain direct access to primary source materials, contributing to research initiatives, collections projects, and interpretive programming.
Selection Committee
Applications for fellowships are screened and chosen by a Selection Committee comprised of experts in various fields, but all with extensive historical experience. Summer Fellowship applications will be evaluated in two rounds. Finalists will be announced in April. Winter Fellowship applications will be announced by the middle of November.
