Overview
The Committee on General Scholarships invites Harvard Graduate and Professional schools to nominate candidates for the Kennedy, Knox and Sheldon Traveling Fellowships, and the Australian Graduate Research Scholarships for academic year 2010-2011.
These fellowships were established to support a full academic year (September-June) of research or study abroad for Harvard graduate students and graduates of Harvard’s graduate and professional schools. Fellowship recipients are required to live at their research or study destinations for the length of the academic year. These fellowships are not intended to support multiple trips to research destinations for students who are based in Cambridge or elsewhere in the United States during the year. They are not available to support project periods of less than an academic year.
Fellowships were $24,000 for the 2009-2010 academic year. The amount is likely to be similar for the 2010-2011 academic year.
The terms of the different fellowships stipulate the following:
SINCLAIR KENNEDY FELLOWSHIPS
Kennedy Fellowships support research at destinations outside of the United States. Students enrolling at foreign universities are not eligible for these funds.
FRANK KNOX MEMORIAL FELLOWSHIPS
Knox Fellowships support research and/or study in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, or the United Kingdom. Applicants must be citizens of the United States.
FREDERICK SHELDON FELLOWSHIPS
Sheldon Fellowships support research, study and/or travel abroad or within the United States (although not at Harvard University). While the Sheldon Fellowship permits travel in the United States, the primary intention of this fellowship is to help students spend an academic year abroad. Preference is given to students who have or will have a Harvard degree at the time of the fellowship.
AUSTRALIAN GRADUATE RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIPS
Australian Graduate Research Scholarships are awarded to Harvard doctoral students to support a full academic year of research and/or fieldwork in Australia. The research must relate directly to the student’s doctoral thesis and scholarship recipients are required to live at their research destination for the entire academic year.
Eligibility and Restrictions
Students currently registered in any of the graduate or professional schools at Harvard are eligible to apply if they have completed at least one full year of graduate study at the time of their application. Students in their first year of graduate study at Harvard are not eligible to apply.
Preference is given to United States citizens. In cases where non-U.S. citizens are considered, the fellowships will not be awarded for travel to that student’s home country.
Recipients must obtain the approval of the Committee on General Scholarships if they wish to accept other grants or fellowships during the same period. Fellows may not hold other grants or fellowships for the same period without this approval. The Committee on General Scholarships reserves the right to decrease the amount of an award if fellows have received other funding for the same time period.
Fellowship funds are not renewable or deferrable.
Fellowship funds are not intended to support the dependents of a fellow and additional funding to support dependents is not available.
Qualifications
Candidates for the Kennedy, Knox, Sheldon Traveling Fellowships and the Australian Graduate Research Scholarships are evaluated by the following criteria:
• Outstanding academic record;
• Standing in the academic department and graduate or professional school;
• Feasibility and quality of the proposed research, study, or travel;
• Unique personal characteristics or non-academic contributions by the candidate.
Application Requirements
Candidates may not apply directly to the Committee on General Scholarships. They should complete the following application materials and submit them to their school’s designated officer according to the procedures established by their school to be considered for nomination:
• Fellowship Application Form
• Statement of Purpose
• Project Budget
• Project Timeline
• Curriculum Vitae
• Two letters of recommendation, at least one of which should be from a member of the Harvard faculty
• Official transcripts from all graduate programs
Nomination Procedures for Graduate and Professional Schools
Graduate and professional schools are asked to screen their fellowship applicants and submit a single ranked list of its nominees for these four fellowships (Kennedy, Knox and Sheldon Traveling Fellowships, and the Australian Graduate Research Scholarships) to the Committee on General Scholarships. In nominating and ranking its applicants, each school should consider the qualifications criteria listed above and provide the Committee with an assessment of its nominees in relation to these criteria.
Please do not forward a separate ranked list for each of the four fellowships. Nominees for the four fellowships are considered by the Selection Committee as a single group. Schools should evaluate and rank candidates for the traveling fellowships in general, rather than as candidates for specific traveling fellowships. The Committee on General Scholarships needs only one copy of the nomination list.
Deadline
Please note that students cannot apply directly to the Committee on General Scholarship for these awards. Students must be nominated by their school. Interested candidates should contact their fellowship representative for further information and deadline dates.
For questions or concerns, please contact Rebecca Bauer at the Committee on General Scholarships. She can be reached at 617-496-5042 or rbauer@fas.harvard.edu.
