The Association of Dress Historians Student Fellowships

Every year, Student Fellowships are awarded to applicants studying dress history. The aim of the Fellowships is to offer students and recent graduates an opportunity to gain skills relevant to a career in dress history, in return for helping to deliver ADH constitutional objectives. Applicants will receive a bursary in three instalments totalling £300, free entry to the ADH conferences at which they assist, and a year-long titled role within ADH. In return, awarded Fellows will be asked to agree to undertake a specific set of organisational tasks within ADH, as laid out in their Fellowship Agreement. The Fellowship is open to currently enrolled part–time or full–time Undergraduate, Master’s, and PhD students, or those who have graduated within 12 months prior to the application deadline. To make an application, simply provide a covering letter detailing which of the following Fellowship roles you would like to apply for, and why you feel you are suited to the role. Fellowship roles include Editorial Assistant (supporting The Journal of Dress History), Digital Communications Assistant (supporting ADH social media and communications strategies), and Conference Assistant (supporting ADH conferences). Please include a list of your dress history research interests, your name, postal address, email address, university affiliation with proof of enrolment status and/or graduation date, and details of a nominated referee from the same institution who is willing to be contacted by the ADH. Fellowships will be appointed on merit of applications as judged by the ADH Awards Sub-Committee and Executive Committee in alignment with the ADH constitution. ADH reserves the right to suspend granting awards if suitable applications are not made.
