Go international

Every year, HNOC selects three scholars to receive the Dianne Woest Fellowship in the Arts and Humanities, designed to support research on the history and culture of Louisiana and the Gulf South. Fellows can schedule their visits for any time between April 1 and March 31, and most fellows opt to spend at least two weeks in residence at HNOC. The fellowship includes a stipend of $4,000. 

While HNOC resources should play a central role in the proposed research agenda, fellows are also encouraged to explore other research facilities in the Greater New Orleans area.
