Boyd-Niles Travel Fellowship Submission Deadline
The Boyd-Niles Student Travel Fellowship was established to recognize Catherine Boyd and Philip Niles, two great professors of medieval and Renaissance history at Carleton. The fellowship is intended to allow students already studying abroad to pursue additional site visits or experiences that will enhance their understanding of the world between ca. 300 and ca. 1700. Experiences can focus on all parts of the world covered by the program (Europe, the Mediterranean basin, Middle East, Central and East Asia, and Latin America).
Each year fellowships of up to $500 will be awarded to students who propose compelling site visits or experiences that will enhance their understanding any aspect of this period. The Program invites applications three times a year: in Fall (for Winter OCS programs); in Winter (for Spring OCS programs); and in Spring (for Summer and Fall OCS programs). Students receiving the prize will be expected to bring their experience back to campus in some meaningful way.
Students pursuing both Carleton and non-Carleton OCS programs will be considered, and applicants do not have to be MARS minors to be considered (though engagement with the program may be a factor in proposal evaluation).
Applications for programs in summer and fall are due on May 12 and should be submitted electronically via the web form.
