Getty Scholar grants are for established scholars, artists,
or writers who have attained distinction in their fields. Recipients are in
residence at the Getty Research Institute, where they pursue their own projects
free from academic obligations, make use of Getty collections, join their
colleagues in a weekly meeting devoted to an annual theme, and participate in
the intellectual life of the Getty.
Eligibility
Applications are welcome from researchers of all
nationalities who are working in the arts, humanities, or social sciences.
Terms
Getty Scholars may be in residence for one of three periods
ranging from three to nine months: September to December 2013; January to June
2014; or September 2013 to June 2014. A stipend of up to $65,000 per year will
be awarded based on length of stay, need, and salary. The grant also includes
an office at the Getty Research Institute or the Getty Villa, research
assistance, an apartment in the Getty scholar housing complex, and airfare to
and from Los Angeles. These terms apply as of August 2012 and are subject to
future changes.
