The Goizueta Foundation Graduate Fellowship 2026-2027: Call for applications
Deadline: Sunday, Feb. 1
The Goizueta Foundation Graduate Fellowship Program provides assistance for supporting doctoral research with primary and secondary source materials at the Cuban Heritage Collection at University of Miami Libraries. The collection is home to the largest repository of materials on Cuba outside of the island and the most comprehensive collection of resources about Cuban exile history and the global Cuban diaspora experience. Thanks to the generous support of The Goizueta Foundation, the Goizueta Foundation Graduate Fellowship Program aims to engage emerging scholars with the materials available in the collection and thus contribute to the larger body of scholarship in Cuban and Cuban diaspora studies. Applicants with an interdisciplinary and/or comparative approach to the study of Cuba and its diaspora, in any time period, are encouraged to apply. Questions about the fellowship program or application instructions should be directed to Annie Sansone-Martínez at chc@miami.edu.
