The Burke-Austen Biennial Jane Austen Scholar-In-Residence Program
In 2000, in celebration of the Jane Austen Collection's 25th anniversary, Goucher College established the competitive Jane Austen Scholar-in-Residence program. The residency offers the selected scholar a week to research Goucher’s Austen collection, work with related undergraduate classes, and present a public lecture on an Austen-related topic. The grant also provides a $1,200 stipend, travel expenses, and accommodations.
