Inter American Press Association (IAPA)-Scholarships
The Inter American Press Association (IAPA) was established in 1942 to defend and promote the right of the peoples of the Americas to be fully and freely informed through an independent press. This right is basic to the survival of a free society and individual liberty. At the same time the IAPA recognized that an independent press, fundamental as it is, could not be the sole objective. Needed also was perceptive reporting that would contribute to better understanding among the countries of the Western Hemisphere. It was for this reason that in 1954 the IAPA established a scholarship fund for young journalists and journalism school graduates. Under this program, U.S. and Canadian scholars spend an academic year studying and reporting in Latin America and the Caribbean, and Latin American and Caribbean scholars spend an academic year studying at a recognized U.S. or Canadian journalism school.

School of American Research-Dobkin Fellowship
The Eric and Barbara Dobkin Native American Artist Fellowship is offered annually by the Indian Arts Research Center at the School of American Research to encourage the work of Native American women artists. The mission of the Dobkin Fellowship is to support a female artist who desires to realize creative goals in growth, enhancement, excellence, and continued achievement. Broadly conceived, the fellowship encourages the distinctive, living artistic traditions of southwestern Native people. Through the personal expression of her art, the recipient has an opportunity to share her experience and to foster a greater cultural understanding with all people. Using the school's Native American art collection, she can learn more about her own community's arts and become engaged in a project where the spirit of learning, discovery, and passion are transformed into the art she shares with the world. The award is offered in the winter to an individual who excels in the visual, verbal, or performing arts.
