Thanks to a generous endowment from the William P. Corrigan Family, a $1,000 annual fellowship has been created, open to all scholars (undergraduate, graduate, independent, and professors at all ranks), to support projects of any sort that explore Hemingway’s Cuban connections. Applications are evaluated by the Smith-Reynolds Selection Committee, and the deadline for applications is February 1. Applicants who plan to work at the J.F.K. Library in Boston should apply first for a JFK Library Hemingway Research Grant.

Smith-Reynolds Founders Fellowships
