The Hemingway Foundation and Society awards two sets of fellowships.
The Smith-Reynolds Founders Fellowship
Established by the Hemingway Foundation and Society to honor the memories of past presidents Paul Smith and Michael Reynolds, this fund, supported by contributions from Society members, disburses $2,000 per annum to support research on Ernest Hemingway by graduate students, independent scholars, and post-docs up through the rank of assistant professor. Applications are ranked by the committee based on the following criteria: clarity, originality, and feasibility of the project; its value in furthering Hemingway scholarship, criticism, or instruction; and the likelihood of its publication. For more information on deadlines and application procedures, please see our Smith-Reynolds page.
Jim & Nancy Hinkle Travel Grants
Since 1992, the Hemingway Foundation and Society has awarded Jim & Nancy Hinkle Travel Grants to defray travel expenses for graduate students attending its biennial international conferences. Recipients must be members in good standing of the Hemingway Society, must currently be enrolled in a graduate degree program, and must be planning to present a paper at the conference. Applications will be given a blind review by no fewer than four members of the Hinkle Travel Grant Committee and will be evaluated on the following criteria: clarity, originality, and value in furthering Hemingway scholarship, criticism, or instruction. The Hinkle fund has been generously supported by the Hinkle family and by members of the Hemingway Society. For more information on deadlines and application procedures, please see our Hinkle Travel Grants page.
