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
