The Foundation of the American Institute for Conservation of Historic and Artistic Works is pleased to be administering the Kress Conservation Fellowship program on behalf of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation.

The Fellowships are designed to provide 9 to 12 month mentored professional development opportunities in a variety of settings for recent graduates of conservation programs.  It is expected that nine Fellowships of $32,000 (minimum of $27,000 for Fellowship, up to $5,000 for institutional costs) will be awarded each year.  Applications must be made by the host institution, which may propose a specific candidate or seek applicants after application. The deadline for receipt of applications by FAIC is March 10.  Please note that guidelines and application forms have been revised significantly for the 2012 deadline.  See full guidelines and application forms at www.conservation-us.org/grants
