Purpose

The Paul and Lynn Kelley International Fellowship was created to honor Paul and Lynn, who have done a great deal to support and promote cultural understanding, including medical travels to Central America, years-long service to indigenous and tribal peoples, AIDS work, and much more. The fund is intended to support students with financial need.

Kelley International Fellowships support independent research activities or projects in the creative or performing arts. Funding might be used for library, museum or archival research; fieldwork; and creating or learning to perform a work of art. 

The Kelley International Fellowship may be applied for during Fall Term, Winter Term, or Spring Term.

Funding

Summer Projects: Up to $5,000 per fellowship may be awarded

Winter Break Projects: Up to $2,000 beyond the cost of airfare, per fellowship, may be awarded

Eligibility

  • Sophomore or Junior students may apply at the Winter Term or Spring Term deadline.
  • Applicants must have demonstrated financial need.
  • Students studying any discipline are eligible.
  • All applicants must be in good academic standing.

When deciding among equally strong proposals for the same category/categories or fellowship funds, juniors/rising seniors (especially those proposing Comps work) are prioritized for fellowship funding; followed by sophomores/rising juniors.
