Fellowship Duration
We encourage Visiting Scholars to stay for one or two entire semesters to take full advantage of the resources, events, and scholarly community. While shorter-term stays (4-12 weeks) are welcome, priority is given to full-semester applications.
Stays of under four weeks do not qualify for the Visiting Scholar Fellowship. Scholars interested in an independent short-term visit (less than four weeks) are welcome to email us for information; please note that these visits do not constitute an official affiliation with the Hannah Arendt Center or Bard College.
Fall Semester (and beginning of Academic Year): September 1 – December 20
Spring Semester: February 1– May 20
Please note: the campus is not active outside of the academic semesters, and we are unable to offer scholarly engagement or supervision during those times.
