The Mary Isabel Sibley Fellowship is awarded annually, alternating in the fields of Greek and French. The award may be used for the study of Greek culture (e.g. language, literature, history, archaeology), or the study of French language or literature. It is not restricted to members of Phi Beta Kappa or to U.S. citizens. The fellowship is intended, according to the donor's wishes, for women in the early stages of their research careers who:
- Demonstrate ability to carry on original research;
- Hold a doctorate/have fulfilled all requirements for doctorate except the dissertation (ABD); and
- Plan to devote full-time work to research during the fellowship year. Under appropriate circumstances, if approved by Phi Beta Kappa, candidates may hold other positions concurrently with the Sibley Fellowship.

Radcliffe fellows are exceptional scientists, writers, scholars, public intellectuals, and artists whose work is making a difference in their professional fields and in the larger world. Radcliffe encourages applications from a broad range of fields and perspectives. The strength of the fellowship program is its diversity. Radcliffe welcomes proposals relevant to the Institute’s focus areas, which include:
- Reflecting Radcliffe’s unique history and institutional legacy, Radcliffe welcomes proposals that focus on women, gender, and society or draw on the Schlesinger Library’s rich collections.
- Law, education, and justice
- Climate change and its human impacts, especially projects that address the disproportionate impacts of the climate crisis on marginalized or under-resourced communities
- Legacies of slavery
Radcliffe Institute fellows are in residence for a period of nine months from September, through May. Fellows receive office or studio space and access to libraries and other resources at Harvard University. If fellows would like to hire Harvard undergraduate students as Research Partners, Radcliffe will cover their hourly wages. Applicants in the humanities and social sciences must must have received their doctorate in the area of the proposed project at least two years prior to their appointment as a fellow and have published a monograph or at least two articles in refereed journals or edited collections. Applicants in the creative arts must meet discipline-specific eligibility requirements as listed on Radcliffe's website. Applicants may apply as individuals or in a group of two to three people working on the same project. All group members must meet the eligibility requirements for their fields.

The Carl & Marilynn Thoma Art Foundation offers postdoctoral fellowships annually in support of projects and research initiatives that will advance study of the art of the Spanish Americas. Scholars may come from any discipline, but all projects must relate to the study of art and art history. Applicants should propose projects that exhibit original scholarship and/or will make a significant contribution to the understanding of the art of the Spanish Americas and its history. Fellowships range in duration from one to two years and eventuate in major measurable outcomes, including museum exhibitions, dissertations, book publications, scholarly essays, and lecture series. Projects will be considered from all of Spanish colonial Latin America and the Caribbean; however, the Foundation will give strong preference to projects that make specific contributions to the history of painting and sculpture in viceregal South America.

The Fellowship Program is at the heart of the activities of the W. E. B. Du Bois Research Institute at Harvard University. Started in 1975 as the W. E. B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research, the Institute has annually appointed scholars who conduct research for a period of one to two semesters in a wide variety of fields related to African and African American Studies. With a record of supporting nearly 700 Fellows since its founding, the Institute has arguably done more in its short existence to ensure the scholarly development of African and African American Studies than any other pre-doctoral or post-doctoral program in the United States. Fellows work in a range of fields and interests, including art and art history, Afro-Latin American research, design and the history of design, education, hiphop, African studies, the African diaspora, African American studies, literature, and creative writing.

The Suzy Newhouse Center for the Humanities at Wellesley College hosts three to five external fellows each academic year. Residencies are ordinarily for the full academic year, but one-semester residencies may also be considered. Resident fellows devote themselves primarily to their own research, but they also participate actively in the intellectual life of the institution, attending fellows' lunches and sharing their work in progress with one another and with the larger Wellesley community. Fellows may also work with the director to develop programming for the center in the form of guest speakers, a faculty series, or a mini-conference. Newhouse External Faculty Fellows are chosen through open competition and both junior and senior faculty members at other institutions may apply.
