Birgit Baldwin Language Fellowship

Baldwin Langauge Fellowship

2024
The Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Studies invites applications for a summer language fellowship. The fellowship is made possible by the Birgit Baldwin Endowment. The recipient of the fellowship will be known as the Birgit Baldwin Language Fellow.

Entry into Scandinavian Studies requires strong knowledge of a Nordic language. Many students have trouble accessing study opportunities in the Nordic languages. The fellowship is intended to support a High-School or College student seeking to begin or develop language study in a Nordic language. Students acquiring a second language or undertaking advanced study are not prioritized. Students from underrepresented groups in SASS are especially encouraged to apply. The scholarship provides up to $9000. Applicants may submit applications up to February 15. An announcement will be made by March 1st.
