STUDY ABROAD RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS

To highlight and strengthen opportunities for Trinity College of Arts and Sciences undergraduates to engage in research projects abroad, the Office of Study Abroad will support up to ten annual Study Abroad Research Fellowships awards through the Trinity College Deans' Summer Research Fellowship competition.

The Office of Study Abroad makes these fellowships available to highlight and strengthen opportunities for Trinity undergraduates to engage in research projects abroad, specifically, to plan and conduct summer projects inspired by and based on academic study abroad experiences. Priority will be given to students whose projects will serve as a foundation for a senior distinction project in their majors.

The intention of providing support through Study Abroad Research Fellowships is to increase the numbers of humanities and social science students who pursue senior distinction projects with an international component in a country other than the U.S. Thus, students will be eligible to apply for these fellowships if they (1) have studied abroad in the fall or spring semester, (2) will be returning to Duke for the subsequent academic year and (3) have planned a summer research project in the same country as their study abroad program or a project related to the international theme/s and courses of their academic program abroad in a different country. Priority for funding will be students whose summer projects have a high probability of being continued as senior distinction projects in their majors.

Up to ten of the Deans' Summer Research Fellowships awarded in 2007 will be Study Abroad Research Fellowships. Interested students should apply for a Deans' Summer Research Fellowship and indicate their eligibility for Study Abroad funding on the application. All applicants will be considered for funding through the Deans' Summer Research Fellowship program.
