Call for Submissions: 2011-2012 Caxton Club Scholarship Awards
(Thanks to Wendy Husser for her summary of the history of the Caxton Club Scholarships,
published in the Caxtonian, September 2007, upon which this is based.)
Since 2002, the Caxton Club has awarded scholarships (usually two)
for expenses of up to $2,500 (each) for book-related projects to be completed during academic year.
To qualify for the scholarship, applicants should have demonstrable interest in the history of the book, book arts,
literary studies, or library studies and must be enrolled in a Chicago area graduate program in one of the following areas:
literary studies with specific relation to print culture, history of the book, and/or book arts.
Library workers and other professionals seeking additional training in book history or book arts fields
are particularly encouraged to apply.
