Event description: 

The Franke Program in Science and the Humanities is now accepting applications for our Franke Fellowship in Science and the Humanities.

These competitive grants, made possible through the generous support of Mr. and Mrs. Richard (‘53) and Barbara Franke, are awarded to rising Yale College seniors to support senior essay, research, or art project proposals that explore new and productive intellectual connections between science and the humanities.  Fellowships are intended to fund research during the summer between junior and senior year, or during the following academic year.

Successful applicants will receive up to $2,000 and will be expected to produce a presentation of their work.  Fellows will also participate in two dinners with their advisors and the donors of the Program.  Refer to the attached documents for help in preparing requested materials.

Please search the student grants database for “Franke” to learn more.  We shall be hosting an information session for the fellowship sometime in February;  details to follow.
