Post-Graduate Fellowships

Seniors interested in applying for the Fulbright or other post-graduate fellowships have the opportunity to register for POST 188/IIS 100 Colloquium, being taught by Carol Brandt and Nigel Boyle this semester. (Fridays from noon to 3 p.m.) This course is designed for students returning from abroad. An early section of the course will function as a workshop on applying for fellowships to study abroad in 2002-03. Students who have not been abroad but are interested in applying for fellowships will be permitted to register for the first part of the course as a half course. Twelve graduating seniors won awards last year, including three Fulbrights.
