The Charles Babbage Institute is accepting applications for the 2016-2017
Adelle and Erwin Tomash Graduate Fellowship. The fellowship will be awarded
to a graduate student for doctoral dissertation research in the history of
computing.

The fellowship may be held at the recipient's home academic institution,
the Charles Babbage Institute, or any other location with appropriate
research facilities. The stipend is $14,000. It is intended for students
who have completed all requirements for the doctoral degree except the
research and writing of the dissertation. Tomash Fellowship recipients must
remain students in good standing throughout the term of their fellowship,
but there is no restriction on holding other fellowships, scholarships, or

reference and certified copies of graduate school transcripts to be sent
directly to CBI.
All materials must be received by CBI no later than January 15, 2016.
