Overview
The fellowship was established in 1984 in honor of Henry Richardson Labouisse ’26 by his daughter and son-in-law, Anne and Martin Peretz, and his grandchildren. The objective of the prize is to enable a graduating senior to engage in a project (work and/or study) that exemplifies the spirit of Labouisse’s life and works. Labouisse was a diplomat and an international public servant who in word and deed championed the causes of international justice and international development. During his long diplomatic career, Labouisse not only designed policies aimed at rebuilding war-torn and crisis-ridden societies around the globe but also played a leading role in implementing those policies on the ground, first in post-Second World War Europe and then in virtually every area of the less developed world.
The Labouisse fellowship, in the amount of $25,000, will be awarded annually to a graduating Princeton senior who wishes to work or study abroad on matters in keeping with the spirit of Labouisse’s life, broadly conceived. The donors hope that independent projects of some practical nature, or ones carried on within some established institutional framework, will be supported by the fellowship. The fellowship may also support study at foreign universities, although not ordinarily at the major universities in Europe, for which there are ample resources otherwise available. Candidates are strongly advised to develop their proposal in consultation with an institution (for example, a university, a central or local government department, or a nongovernmental organization) at the locality where they intend to implement their project.
Criteria for Selection
A record of academic achievement, preferably reflecting a strong interest in problems of development.
Personal qualities of moral and intellectual leadership.
Career goals include working to address the needs, or advance the interests, of marginalized and impoverished communities.
Application Procedure
Candidates must submit five copies of the following materials by 5 p.m. on Monday, January 4, 2010, to Rebecca Aguas, 323 Burr Hall. (Download application procedure and eligibility information sheet pdf.)
The completed one-page application form.
A two- to four-page, single-spaced, typewritten statement containing the candidate’s plans for the fellowship year (to include the name of the organization that will sponsor the student) and the rationale thereof (e.g., How does the fellowship proposal mesh with the candidate’s career plans and background, including academic preparation and extracurricular experience?).
A one-page typewritten resume.
A transcript (only one must be an original).
Candidates must arrange to have one letter of recommendation delivered to Rebecca Aguas, 323 Burr Hall, by 5 p.m. on Monday, January 4, 2010. This letter should be written by a member of the Princeton faculty who knows the candidate well and who can speak directly about the strengths and weaknesses of the candidate’s fellowship proposal and the potential benefits to the candidate of a fellowship year.
A selected group of candidates will be interviewed by the Labouisse Fellowship Committee. Interviews are usually scheduled in February.
