Grants

The Mennonite Historical Society announces a grant to promote research and publication in Anabaptist-Mennonite studies.

Open Research Grant. An annual award of $1,500 will support scholarly research. The intent of the grant is to assist in covering costs related to research, e.g., subsidy for writing time, travel, etc. The Mennonite Quarterly Review has the "right of first refusal" for scholarly articles that result from research funded by the grant.

All applicants must be members of the Mennonite Historical Society. Recipients of the award will be announced at the May meeting of the MHS Board of Directors. Disbursements will be made by June 1.
