What does it cover? Fellowships will be awarded on a scale related to need and earnings, up
to a maximum rate of $60,000 per year. Summer Fellows will be given an
apartment and transportation reimbursement, but no stipend. Travel to and from
the Clark will also be reimbursed for the scholar and an accompanying family
member. Clark Fellows’ tax liability to the United States government will be
considered in accordance with the tax regulations of the Internal Revenue
Service on a case-by-case basis.
Visas: It is expected that all Fellows are in good standing with the United
States Immigration and Naturalization Service and have authorization [a J-1
Visa] from the INS that permits a Fellow to engage in the activities for which
he or she has been designated a Clark Fellow. In applicable circumstances, the
Clark can facilitate this standing by providing Fellows with the documents
required to initiate the authorization process.
Housing: Fellows will normally be provided with an apartment in a recently
refurbished and expanded late-nineteenth-century house across the street from
the Clark. Six apartments are available, ranging in size from one to two
bedrooms, with additional common spaces. Each apartment is fully furnished and
linked to the Clark’s computer network. Accommodation and services, except
long-distance telephone, will be provided by the Institute. Pets are not
permitted in the Scholars’ Residence. No smoking is permitted inside any Clark
building. Offices: Fellows will be provided with an office in the Institute,
accessible from 8:00 am until 11:00 pm (early closing times on the weekend). In
addition to having telephone, fax, and photocopy equipment, all offices connect
to the Clark’s computer network. Information technology support for the Clark
network is available in-house. Each Fellow’s workspace includes a Pentium PC
running Windows XP and the Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, and
PowerPoint). All of the Clark’s personal computers are on a local area network
that provides e-mail, Internet Web access, and laser printing.
Libraries: Fellows will have access to the open shelves of the Clark Library,
which has strong holdings in post-medieval European art, with 200,000 books and
700 periodicals, as well as extensive slide and photograph collections. They
will also have full access to other libraries through Interlibrary Loan and
Electronic Document Delivery. The libraries of Williams College, including the
main library, for which each scholar will have a borrower’s card, and the
Chapin Rare Book collection, are a half-mile away.
