The Maine Women Writers Collection at the University of New England invites applications for our Research Support Grant Program for research on site during the 2025 calendar year. Application deadline: 1 Sept. 2024.

MWWC Research Support Grants are intended for faculty, independent researchers, and graduate students at the dissertation stage who are actively pursuing research that requires or would benefit from access to the holdings of the Maine Women Writers Collection.

Grants of up to $2,000 may be used to defray travel, living, and research-related expenses relating to on-site visits. International applicants are welcome.
