The Marian Library and the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Dayton award two fellowships each year to support the research and artistic use of the Marian Library’s collections. Both are made possible by a generous gift from the Marianist Province of the United States in recognition of the International Marian Research Institute and its new position in the College of Arts and Sciences.

The Marian Library Visiting Scholar Fellowship supports research and artistic projects and provides access to the collections of the Marian Library for scholars and artists. The fellowship comes with an award of $3,000 in support of travel, living and/or research expenses.

The intent of the Marian Library Resident Scholar Fellowship is to inspire and support research and artistic endeavors using the collections of the Marian Library. One fellowship is available, and the award must be used between May 15 and August 15 of the year in which it is awarded.

This series contains reflections and reports of scholars who have received these fellowships.
