While the Getty Foundation has many funding programs for scholars around the world, we also administer grants for scholars who come to work at the Getty Center on behalf of the Getty Research Institute, the Getty Conservation Institute, the J. Paul Getty Museum, and the Getty Trust.

Getty Rothschild Fellowship
In 2016 the Getty and the Rothschild Foundation announced the creation of the Getty Rothschild Fellowship, which will support innovative scholarship in the history of art, collecting, and conservation, using the collection and resources of both institutions. The fellowship offers art historians, museum professionals, or conservators the opportunity to research and study at both the Getty in Los Angeles and Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire, England. The fellowship is invitation-only and administered by the Getty Foundation. The inaugural fellow was Dr. David Saunders, a foremost expert in the area of conservation science who worked on museum and gallery lighting during the fellowship. The second fellow for 2017/18 is Dr. Thomas Campbell, the ninth director of The Museum of Metropolitan Art (2009–2017) who will focus on the changing environment in which museums are operating and the ways art and cultural heritage can be used to promote mutual understanding.
