The American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF) offers fellowships (up to $23,000) and grants (normally $5,000) to individuals to pursue research or study in one or more Scandinavian country for up to one year. Awards are made in all fields. Application requirements vary based on discipline.

Applicants must:
-Be United States citizens or permanent residents
-Have completed their undergraduate education by the start of their ASF project
-Have a well-defined research or study project that makes a stay in Scandinavia essential

The ASF considers it desirable that all candidates have at least some ability in the language of the host country, even if it is not essential for the execution of the research plan.

Projects should be planned to fall within the summer 2009 - summer 2010 period. The awards support project-related costs, including maintenance, trans-Atlantic round-trip travel, in-country travel, tuition and fees (where applicable) and materials expenditures (e.g., books, photocopying, art supplies).
