Applications sought for Franke Fellowships in science and humanities

The Franke Program in Science and the Humanities is accepting applications for its Franke Fellowship in Science and the Humanities.

These competitive grants are awarded to rising Yale College seniors to support senior essay, research, or art project proposals that explore new and productive intellectual connections between science and the humanities. Fellowships are intended to fund research during the summer between junior and senior year, or during the following academic year.

Successful applicants will receive up to $2,000 and will be expected to produce a presentation of their work. Fellows will also participate in two dinners with their advisors and the donors of the program. 

The Franke Program in Science and the Humanities is a new initiative that aims to foster communication, mutual understanding, collaborative research and teaching among diverse scientific and humanistic disciplines. It is made possible through the generosity of Richard (’53) and Barbara Franke. For more information, visit the program’s website.
