Friends of the Princeton University Library offer short-term Library
Research Grants
Each year, the Friends of the Princeton University Library offer short-term Library Research Grants to promote scholarly use of the research collections. The Program in Hellenic Studies also supports a limited number of Library Research Grants in Hellenic studies, and the Cotsen Children's Library supports research in its collection on aspects of children's books. The Maxwell Fund supports research on materials dealing with Portuguese-speaking cultures.

These Library Research Grants, which have a value of up to $2,500 each, are meant to help defray expenses incurred in traveling to and residing in Princeton during the tenure of the grant. The length of the grant will depend on the applicant's research proposal, but is ordinarily one month. Library Research Grants awarded in this academic year are tenable from May 2009 to April 2010, and the deadline for applications is 15 January 2009.

Applicants are asked to submit a completed application form,
budget form, a resume and a research proposal not exceeding three pages in length.
Applicants must also arrange for two confidential letters of recommendation to be sent directly to the Library Research Grants Committee at the address given below.

The proposal should address specifically the relevance to the proposed research of unique resources found in the Princeton University Library collections. Prospective grantees are urged to consult the Library's homepage at for detailed descriptions of the collections, especially those in the Rare Books and Special Collections Department, and for the names of curators and reference staff. Applicants should have specific Princeton resources in mind-not simply a desire to make use of a major research library-as they prepare their proposals.
A committee consisting of members of the faculty, the library staff, and the Friends will award the grants on the basis of the relevance of the proposal to unique holdings of the library, the merits and significance of the project, and the applicant's scholarly qualifications. Awards will be made before 1 April 2009.
Application materials and letters of recommendation are to be mailed to Library Research Grant Committee, Princeton University Library, One Washington Road, Princeton, NJ 08544. Materials mailed to the committee must be postmarked no later than 15 January 2009. Facsimile transmissions may be sent to (609) 258-2324. Electronic communications to the committee may be sent to loliveir@princeton.edu. Materials submitted by e-mail or facsimile must be received no later than 15January 2009.  E-mail is the preferred method of submission.

こんにちは〜！
今日はさわやかな秋晴れです。
空が高くなっていて、夏が遠くなっていることを感じました。

先週顔合わせをしたフルブライト・フェローズたちや招聘講師の皆さんも
新しい土地で新しい生活を始めたことでしょう。
日本は国土面積は狭いものの、土地それぞれで文化が大きく異なります。
それぞれに不慣れなこと、戸惑うこともたくさんあることでしょうけれど、
皆さん、実りの多い留学生活を送られますよう、
同じ空の下、お祈りしています！！

昨日夕方６時より、アメリカ大使館首席公使邸において、２００８年度アメリカ人フルブライト奨学金受給者歓迎会を開催いたしました。奨学金受給者（“グランティー”と呼ばれています）およびそのご家族、過去に奨学金を受給された方々（“フルブライター”と呼ばれています）、グランティーを受け入れてくださる大学の先生方、フルブライト奨学金プログラムを支援してくださる方々、アメリカ大使館のスタッフ、フルブライト・ジャパンの委員、スタッフなどなど、総勢１００名以上の方々が出席され、大変にぎやかなものとなりました。


これが玄関に置かれていたゲストブックです。この見開きの次のページにもたくさんの方々がサインしておられました。私はサインし忘れてしまった（…スタッフだからしなくて正解でしょう…）！




会場は知的に大盛況！　
首席公使は日本語に堪能でおられ、歓迎の辞も流暢な日本語と英語で述べられました。

首席公使邸は東京都内、大通りから一歩入った閑静な住宅街に佇む素敵なお宅です。
日が暮れるのが早くなっているために、今回は残念ながらお庭に出ることはできませんでしたが、外の喧騒とは別世界、広々として自然を感じることの出来るお庭があるのです。プール（！）の周りを広々とした芝生が取り囲み、その外側を木立がごく自然のままといった風情で植えられています。以前、その木立を一周歩きましたが、ちょっとしたトレイル（？！）といった感じです。写真でご紹介できればいいのですが…。

話が横にそれてしまいましたので戻します。

会話を楽しむゲスト。

グランティーもそのほかのゲストも皆、ヘルシーで美味しいお料理とデザート、そして素晴らしい会話を楽しむことができた素敵な夕べでした☆

今週は２００８年度のアメリカ人フルブライト奨学金受給者“グランティー”のオリエンテーションが連日行われています…ことは１６日のブログでご紹介しましたね

本日はフルブライト・フェローが事務局に集合して、諸連絡事項、自己紹介（グランティー同士もお互いを知らないので）、外国人登録や銀行口座開設についてなど生活していく上での必須事項についての説明、留学中の研究課題について、それから個別に事務局長との面談、などなど大変忙しい一日です。

フルブライト・フェロー・プログラムとは、大学学部を終了したばかりの若いアメリカ人に、日本の文化、社会を知り、日本に関する研究を進めてもらうためのプログラムです。留学期間は１年間。来年９月までの滞在です。異文化の中で過ごす１年間に、どれだけいろんなことを経験し、吸収することでしょうか。楽しみです。









２００８年度のフルブライト・フェローは１５名。そのうち女性は２名という少数です。例年は大体半分ずつなのですが、今年度は例外的です。

さて、今日はそれだけで終了せず、夕刻６時より、アメリカ大使館首席公使邸にて、首席公使主催のグランティー歓迎会が催されます。グランティーはもちろんのこと、グランティーを受け入れてくださる各大学の先生方、フルブライト奨学金同窓生“フルブライター”、フルブライト・ジャパン委員会メンバー、そして事務局スタッフもご招待いただいています。歓迎会の模様、スナップ写真など後日掲載しますので、お楽しみに！

Graduate: Brandeis University International Business School
Merit-based Scholarships, Waltham, Massachusetts

A pioneering professional school dedicated to teaching and research in global finance, management and economic policy. We respond to the growing need for international vision and expertise by preparing exceptional individuals from around the world to become principled leaders of global companies and public institutions. We teach cutting-edge theory, immerse students in international experiences, and connect them to best practice in business and policy. This learning experience transforms the way our graduates view the world, and helps them develop skills and insights to chart its future."
Relative to other business and professional schools, the International Business School offers generous financial aid, in the form of both merit-based and need-based aid. Our major merit-based scholarship programs make awards to nearly one-third of incoming students. Students do not have to apply separately for financial aid. Every applicant - whether from the US or from other countries - is automatically considered for merit-based scholarships, and every student who completes the Statement of Financial Resources in our application is also considered for need-based awards. Financial aid awards are communicated to the student at the time he or she is admitted.
The School's merit-based financial aid draws on several major scholarship programs:
Dean's Prize Scholarships offer up to full tuition awards to students of exceptional merit.
American Leadership Awards recognize outstanding US citizens and residents with scholarships that offset part of tuition costs.
Global Leadership Awards recognize outstanding candidates of other nationalities with scholarships that offset part of tuition costs.
The Feld and Scharfman scholarships recognize students with special accomplishments in business, finance and economics with scholarships that offset part of tuition costs.
Lubin Endowed Scholarship and Fellowship, awarded to students with a specific interest in economic, social, or labor issues.
Our need-based aid program, which provides support to some students not selected for merit awards, considers a combination of financial need and qualifications for professional success. In any given year, the amount of need-based aid is subject to the availability of funds.
