Thanks to Angie Cope for sending through details of an opportunity to pursue your research interests at the library of the American Geographical Society. You do not have to be American to apply for these scholarships, as the list of previous winners makes clear.

McColl Research Program Fellowships
This is a short-term fellowship program available to individuals who wish to communicate their geographical research results to a broad, educated general audience. Awards of $3300 for four-week fellowships will be provided to support residencies for the purpose of conducting research that makes direct use of the Library, and results in publication in a mutually agreed outlet.
Helen and John S. Best Research Fellowships
Stipends of $400 per week, for periods up to 4 weeks, will be awarded to help support residencies for the purpose of conducting research that makes direct use of the Library.
The AGS Library is the former research library and map collection of the American Geographical Society of New York. The library has strengths in geography, cartography and related historical topics.
