College of Arts and Sciences Experiential Learning Fellowships

About

The objective of the Experiential Learning Fellowships is to encourage and support individual undergraduate student projects in the humanities, arts, and social sciences for the purpose of providing opportunities for experiential learning to students seeking a major or minor in the College of Arts and Sciences. Three funds comprise the Experiential Learning Fellowship: the Rocks, the Experiential Learning Fellowship in Anthropology, and the Traub. Although the application process for the funds is the same, each has its own eligibility requirements.

A wide range of student projects is eligible for funding, including but not limited to support of research projects, Senior Capstone projects, travel to research conferences to present research, or project-oriented travel abroad associated with completion of majors or minors programs in the arts, humanities, and social sciences.

In addition, students who have declared their intent of pursuing a major or minor in any of the college’s interdisciplinary programs in which faculty from the arts, humanities or social sciences departments listed above participate as program faculty are also eligible to apply.
2. The Experiential Learning Fellowship in Anthropology: Undergraduates who have declared a major in Anthropology, have obtained at least sophomore status, hold at least an overall GPA of at least. 3.0, and have completed a minimum of 12 credits in anthropology, including ANTH 102 (Being Human: An Introduction to Social and Cultural Anthropology) are eligible to apply.
