Annually The Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies invites
applications for the Snorri Sturluson Icelandic Fellowships. The Snorri
Sturluson Fellowships are granted to writers, translators and scholars
(not to university students) in the field of humanities, from outside
Iceland, to enable them to stay in Iceland for a period of at least
three months, in order to improve their knowledge of the Icelandic
language, culture and society.
The amount of the Fellowships is based in principle on travel expenses to and from Iceland, plus living expenses while in the country. Should two equally-qualified candidates be under consideration, preference will, as a rule, be given to a candidate from Eastern or Southern Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America or Oceania.
The Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies advertises the Fellowships, handles applications, and assists Fellows during their stay in Iceland, at the conclusion of which Fellows are expected to submit a report to the Institute on how the grant was spent.
The Snorri Sturluson Fellowships are awarded once a year. A special three-man committee, comprising representatives of the Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies, the University of Iceland Literary Institute, and the Writers' Association of Iceland, awards the fellowships.
There are no special application forms for the Fellowships. Applicants should submit a brief but thorough account of the purpose of their stay in Iceland, specifying period of stay, as well as details of education and publications.
Applications should be sent by ordinary mail (no e-mail application) no later than 31 October each year to:
