The Chittenden County Historical Society announces its annual competition for research grants fiscal 2025 (July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025). Anyone, whether or not a member of the Society, may apply for a grant of up to $1,000 for a research project on some aspect of Chittenden County history. Grants are made directly to individuals and do not require a sponsoring organization.
From its beginning, the Chittenden County Historical Society has chosen to focus its financial resources on aiding research and publication instead of owning and maintaining buildings and artifacts and duplicating what individual town historical societies do.
Past grants have supported new research on a wide area of subjects. Previous grantees have ranged from school children to college professors. The deadline for receipt of applications is June 1 and grants will be awarded at the Annual Meeting of the Society in July.
If you would like to apply for a 2025 Research Grant, please fill out and submit this online application form. To request a paper copy of the application form, or to ask a question about the application process please contact Jane Williamson at [email protected].
