SAMUEL H. KRESS FELLOWSHIP

This grant program is no longer active. Applications are not being accepted.

The Samuel H. Kress Mid-Career Fellowship awarded research grants of up to $15,000 to mid-career professionals to pursue research projects related to the appreciation, interpretation, preservation, study and teaching of European art, architecture and related disciplines from antiquity to the early 19th century, in the context of historic preservation in the United States.

Potential Kress Fellow projects could include the exploration of shared European and American influences in style, design, materials, construction techniques, building types, conservation and interpretation methodologies, philosophical and theoretical attitudes, and other factors applicable to preservation in both Europe and America.

Applications were reviewed by the Fitch Trustees and recommended to the Kress Foundation for funding consideration. Funding for the Kress Fellowship was made possible through the generous support of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation.
