The Society seeks applications from scholars, researchers and specialists
working in the U.S. who are representative of a wide range of disciplines and
backgrounds. Prior awardees have explored topics in the arts, architecture,
political science and technology and have included Ph.D. candidates, junior
professors, researchers and professionals. Former applicants have hailed from
