The Society of Architectural Historians is accepting applications for the Sally Kress Tompkins Fellowship, which places a graduate student in architectural history or a related field on a 12-week Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) project. The fellow researches and writes a history of a significant U.S. building or site that becomes part of the permanent HABS collection at the Library of Congress. The fellowship carries a $12,000 stipend, usually takes place the summer after the award, and can be based anywhere in the U.S.

Applicants must be SAH members. A cover letter, résumé or CV, a writing sample of up to 20 pages and one recommendation are submitted through SAH’s online portal. Applications are due December 31, 2026.
