2022 Friedberg Fellowships for travel to and in France (Deadline: April 29)

The Marguerite W. Friedberg Memorial Travel Fellowship provides funding for research-related travel to and within continental France. All students, except for graduating seniors, are eligible to apply for this fellowship. The Fellowship seeks to support students who wish to undertake research or creative work that is inspired by a desire to delve more deeply into a French-related subject and/or that is linked to future thesis work. It may also be undertaken in connection with study abroad, but the travel must be supplementary to any travel or excursions included in an organized study abroad program. The fellowship may not be applied to either the charges of a study abroad program or the costs of any travel in France that is part of a study abroad program. At the end of their research travel, students will be required to write a 3-page report to the donor and the Romance Languages Department upon their return. The report will be posted on the CGLLC website. The application deadline is Friday, April 29. Continue reading »
