Each year, the* Robert De Niro Endowed Fund*, *Warren Skaaren Film Research Endowment*, and *Filmscript Acquisitions Endowment* fund a number of projects focusing on the Center's film collections.

The Center's film collections include the papers of producers *David O. Selznick* and *Lewis Allen*, director *Nicholas Ray*, actors *Gloria Swanson* and *Robert De Niro*, screenwriters *Ernest Lehman* and *Paul Schrader*, acting teacher *Stella Adler*, special effects master *Norman Dawn*, and the* Interstate Theatre Circuit*, among others.

The fellowships range from one to three months, with stipends of $3,000 per month. Also available are $1,200 to $1,700 travel stipends and dissertation fellowships with a $1,500 stipend. During the fellowship, scholars will work on-site in the Center's collections in Austin, Texas.
