Fellowship 2010: Middlebury Summer Language Fellowships

Middlebury is offering two types of full summer language fellowships for 2010: the Kathryn Davis fellowships and minority fellowships.

Kathryn Davis:

The Kathryn Davis Fellowships for Peace: Investing in the Study of Critical Languages. These 100 fellowships are made possible by a generous gift from Kathryn Davis to address today’s critical need for increased language proficiency in the United States.

For the fourth year in a row, 100 Davis Fellowships are offered to cover the full cost of summer language study from beginner to graduate levels in Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, Portuguese, and Russian at the Middlebury College Language Schools. Fellowship grants cover the full comprehensive fee (tuition, room, and board) at the Middlebury summer Language Schools.

The Davis Fellowships are merit-based and intended for exceptionally qualified individuals with demonstrated interest in one or more of the following areas: international, global, or area studies; international politics and economics; peace and security studies; and/or conflict resolution. Individuals in other fields, including working professionals, are also encouraged to apply if their field of expertise requires them to study one of the critical languages listed above.

All materials must be received by February 1, 2010.

Minority fellowships:

In the summer of 2010 the Middlebury College Language Schools will offer scholarships for students enrolled at Historically Black Colleges, Tribal Colleges, and Hispanic Serving Institutions. Recipients of these scholarships will receive funding to cover the comprehensive fee (tuition, room/board) for one summer of language study. Applicants for this scholarship should have strong demonstrated interest in any of the ten languages taught—Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, or Spanish—and must have the support of their home institution. As with the Davis fellowship, this fellowship covers the full comprehensive fee (tuition, room, and board) at the Middlebury summer Language Schools.

To qualify for consideration, students need to submit all application materials postmarked by February 2, 2010.
