View FAQs

The Foundation awards travel grants to individual scholars to support historical research on Venice and the former Venetian empire, and for the study of contemporary Venetian society and culture. Disciplines of the humanities and social sciences are eligible areas of study, including (but not limited to) archaeology, architecture, art, bibliography, economics, history, history of science, law, literature, music, political science, religion, and theater.

One of the Venetian Research Program grants awarded will be designated as the Henry A. Millon Award in Art and Architectural History.

Past Grantees:
2016-2017 Venetian Research Program Grantees
2017-2018 Venetian Research Program Grantees

Research Location:

Funds may be used for travel to and residence in Venice and the and the former Venetian empire; transportation within the Veneto; and specific research expenses.

Past grantees only may apply for travel and research outside of the Veneto. Scholars who have already received and accepted a Delmas grant for their work in Venice and the Veneto are eligible for subsequent, one-time grants of up to $3,000 (one month maximum) to work exclusively on Venetian materials in other libraries or museums.  The proposed study must be related to the previous Delmas grant.

Eligible applicants must:

  • be citizens or permanent residents of the United States*
  • have experience in advanced research at the graduate level or equivalent

Award Amounts:

Applications will be entertained for grants up to a maximum of $20,000 for a full academic year. Grants for the maximum amount are rarely awarded, and successful applicants are frequently awarded less than the amount requested.  Award amounts are based on length of stay, plus travel and research costs.
