Scholarships

The program offers five key instruments of professional advancement: meaningful teaching (Fellows teach one course per term); collaborative intellectual exploration (through participation during the first year in the year-long Faculty Seminar); interaction with the broader world of scholarship and public life (through the staging of a symposium connected to the Fellow’s teaching and research interests, which occurs in the spring semester of the Fellow’s second year); mentoring (through association with host departments and programs); and the time and resources for scholarly endeavor (a reduced teaching load, support for research and travel).

Technical Assistants receive a scholarship covering full tuition, room & board at the dormitory rate for a period of study for one or two weeks. Applicants should have completed one year of graduate specialization, or the equivalent, in the area for which aid is requested. Because technical assistants are responsible for assisting the instructor, and for shop maintenance and organization, they are expected to be familiar with the general technical requirements of a particular studio and instructor.

Haystack’s work study program is intended for those who show high promise in their field, and who need help in meeting the expense of a Haystack session. In exchange for a scholarship that covers their full tuition, room & board, work study students will be assigned tasks in the kitchen, or around the school that will not exceed three hours daily, ensuring that each student will have ample time for personal work and study in the studio.
