- A résumé no more than two pages long.
-The name of one reference who has agreed to send a supporting letter directly to the library by the deadline of April 16, 2010.
- A proposed budget indicating how the funds requested will be spent.
Preferred mode of application is via e-mail attachment to slgrants@radcliffe.edu. If possible, please combine application pieces into a single document.
