Support a New Scholar Program

Dear SFRA community,

We are pleased to post a call for applications for Track B of the SFRA Support a New Scholar Program (SNS), for 2024-2025.

The SNS program supports advanced students and scholars of outstanding promise to assist them in taking part as active members of the science fiction community. In alternating years, this excellence-based grant is aimed to help fund one graduate student (Track A) and one non-tenure-track scholar (with a Ph.D.; Track B) for a period of two years, covering SFRA membership costs.

Please find in the attached PDF eligibility criteria, an application form, and information on other requested materials for this year’s track.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: November 1, 2023
