The Center can host scholars for short periods to extended periods of time, ranging from days\u00a0to months.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Visiting scholars will be provided with access to APSA headquarters, a private place to work, a wi-fi connection to APSA&#8217;s internet, and access to APSA&#8217;s printer. With APSA headquarters as their &#8220;home base,&#8221; visiting scholars will be able to take full advantage of all the educational, cultural, and social opportunities that Washington, D.C. has to offer. Being based at APSA headquarters will also allow visiting scholars to network with APSA staff and visitors and potentially take part in events taking place at APSA headquarters.<\/p>\n<p>Applications to the Visiting Scholar Program are accepted on a rolling basis. The Centennial Center, its facilities, and research support programs continue to be made possible in part through the generous donations of APSA members.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apsa.wufoo.com\/forms\/mmxr8310yzrw0g\/\"><strong>If you are interested in applying, please fill out the form here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Frequently Asked Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em><em>Who is eligible to be a Visiting Scholar?<\/em><\/em>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Your membership with APSA must be active<\/strong> in order to apply for the Visiting Scholar Program. Senior or junior faculty members, post-doctoral fellows, and advanced graduate students are all strongly encouraged to apply. A grant from one of the Centennial Center research funds can be used in concert with a visiting scholar desk, but\u00a0<strong>is not required<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><em>Does it cost me anything to be a Visiting Scholar?<\/em>\n<ul>\n<li>APSA does not impose any costs on Visiting Scholars for use of the desk space during their stay in the Centennial Center. There are no rental fees to use the space, as long as your membership with APSA is active.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><em>Will the Visiting Scholars Program cover my expenses?<\/em>\n<ul>\n<li>Although APSA is delighted to provide work space to scholars for the Visiting Scholar Program, a seat in the Center does not cover research or living expenses in Washington, DC during your stay. In lieu of a stipend, many Visiting Scholars apply for a Centennial Center fellowship or research grant, and use their grant funds to cover the travel costs and research expenses of their trip.
