Kathryn Davis Fellowships for Peace
Summer Study at Middlebury College
deadline: 14 January 2008

Middlebury College is pleased to announce The Kathryn Davis Fellowships for Peace: Investing in the Study of Critical Languages. Now in the second year of this program, these fellowships are made possible as part of a $1 million gift from Kathryn Davis to address todayís critical need for more effective language proficiency.

Fellowships will cover the full cost of a summer of language study from beginner to graduate in Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, Portuguese, and Russian at the Middlebury College Language Schools during the summer of 2008. Each individual grant covers the full comprehensive fee (tuition, room, and board) for one summer at the Middlebury Language Schools, plus a stipend to assist in defraying program-related expenses.

One summer of intensive immersion language at Middlebury is the equivalent of a full year of language study taken during the regular academic year. (Applicants who are interested in transferring academic credit should check with their home institution regarding transferability.)

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. 

To qualify for consideration for one of the Davis Fellowships, please submit, POSTMARKED by January 14, 2008, three copies of the application form cover sheet and application essay. Please note that application for the Davis Fellowship is separate from the application for study at a Middlebury Language School. Interested applicants must meet all School-specific deadlines in order to be
considered for a Davis Fellowship.
