What we can achieve with your support

The National Library's Fellowships and Scholarships program enables outstanding academic researchers, younger scholars, and creative practitioners to visit the Library and immerse themselves in our unique collections. Each of these Fellows and Scholars uses their time at the Library to delve into our collections and pursue the creation of a new scholarly or creative work.

These opportunities depend entirely on donors like you. We are seeking support for Fellowships and Scholarships so that a new generation of thinkers can use our collections to create important and transformative works.

Your support will sustain these opportunities, which nurture future fellows and scholars to produce new bodies of knowledge that draw on the Library's remarkable collections.
