The Smith Institute at BYU is accepting applications for six summer fellowships that will involve research on the cultural context of the Restoration during the lifetime of Joseph Smith. Applicants should be advanced undergraduate or graduate LDS students who are familiar with Church doctrine and scriptures and have some comprehension of early Church history. Recipients will work full-time in Provo, Utah, from 12 June to 4 August 2000 under the direction of Professor Richard Bushman. The fellowship carries a stipend of $2,500 and a housing allowance for those who require it.
