Mary Elvira Stevens Traveling Fellowship (毕业生)
校园的最后期限: 11:30 pm on March 12, 2024
The Mary Elvira Stevens Traveling Fellowship was established by the will of Alice Alvira Stevens, 1891届. The will states that "preference shall be given to persons with good temper and a natural generosity of view when confronted with alien conditions, common sense in observing and comprehending social, 经济, 政治局势, 强烈的旅行欲望, 以及对美的热爱." It also expresses the expectation that the Fellowship will provide for Wellesley and the United States "well-balanced young women who may or may not teach, 写, 或讲座, but who in any event will live in a spirit of knowledge and understanding that will assure a reasonable degree of wisdom."
我们邀请 proposals for purposeful travel into unfamiliar territory that will inspire reflection and growth and lead to more fulfilling and productive personal and professional lives. The Fellowship typically carries a stipend of up to $25,000 (按U征税.S. 法律) for up 整整一年 of travel 外 the United States. It is available to a Wellesley graduate who is at least 25 years of age in the calendar year of application and who has not previously received Wellesley College Graduate Fellowship funding of $5,000 or more (from the Stevens, Knafel,或其他 研究生奖学金). There is no limitation as to field of interest, but a Fellow’s detailed plan must be approved in advance by the Fellowship Committee.
