Do I really need to hold my Ph.D. by January 1, 2025?
Yes, this date is accurate for the 2026-2027 Society Fellowship search.
I have an advanced Art degree but not a Ph.D., am I eligible to apply? (ex. MFA, DMA)
We would be happy to review your application.
We do ask that you submit the scholarly paper as this is a residential, communal fellowship in which scholarly work is shared and discussed on a weekly basis. In addition, we welcome the additional supplement of artistic work; this would need to be formatted as a PDF to be uploaded through the application portal.
Can I participate in the Fellowship year remotely?
No, our Fellowships are residential. We ask that you are in the Ithaca area for the extent of the academic year.
When are letters of recommendation due?
Letters of recommendation are due at the time of the application: September 22, 2025, 11:59pm EST. Your will send a request for your letters directly through the AJO application portal.
