Summer Fellowship in Community Archives FAQs
What is the time commitment for the fellowship? Can I do it alongside a part-time internship?
The fellowship requires a full-time commitment for the eight-week duration, so taking on additional internships or jobs is not possible during the fellowship period.
How will the stipend be paid?
The stipend will be paid in four installments of $1,750, at the end of each two-week period, contingent upon full participation in the fellowship.
For the six weeks that are in-person in Philadelphia, will we be working out of SAADA’s office each day?
Fellows will be asked to come into SAADA’s office 1 to 2 days a week for in-person collaboration, and can work remotely in Philadelphia the rest of the week.
My courses begin at the end of August, so I may not be able to attend the Society of American Archivists annual meeting. Can I still apply for the fellowship?
Yes, you can apply! If you have a conflict with the Society of American Archivists annual meeting, we will work with you to identify another convening to attend during the academic year.
What does "practicum-style" mean?
"Practicum-style" refers to a learning approach focused on hands-on, practical experiences.
