The Schallek awards, made possible by a generous gift to the Richard III Society from William B. and Maryloo Spooner Schallek, support graduate students conducting doctoral research in any relevant discipline dealing with late-medieval Britain (ca. 1350-1500). The $2,000 awards help defray research expenses such as the cost of travel to research collections and the cost of photographs, photocopies, microfilms, and other research materials.
