The Summer Grant Program
An unusual and important feature of the Nancy Susan Reynolds, Guy T. Carswell, Graylyn, Joseph G. Gordon, Bradford, Holding, and O.W. Wilson scholarships is the summer grant program that supports research, study, and travel. These scholars have three summers in which to undertake projects funded at up to $2,000 per year. Scholars consult with faculty, the scholarship officers, and others to plan a project with an educational purpose. Approximately twenty such project grants are awarded annually to scholarship students. Recent summer projects include:
Islamic art in Morocco and Turkey
Roma culture in Eastern Europe
Research on Sorbian minority in Germany
Classes and research in Cuba
Internships with White House, US AID, and
Congressional offices
Research at Harvard School of Public Health
