The Carl and Lily Pforzheimer Foundation focuses on funding scholarship in early 19th-century English literature. This commitment extends from the personal passions and philanthropic initiatives of Carl H. Pforzheimer, Jr., an investment banker, philanthropist, and advocate for Romantic-era studies.
The Bill and Stuart Buice Fund is aimed at supporting graduate students, independent scholars, or assistant professors who lack other means of support, enabling them to participate in K-SAA conferences or symposia. The grant covers travel and housing expenses, with a selection process that continues on a rolling basis until funds for the year are exhausted.
