+ Bertha Vapnek Research Fellowship for Sophomore and Junior History Majors

       This fellowship, worth up to $2500, supports a student's independent research over the summer.
       The student is required to work with a faculty member in the History department to develop the
       project. It makes sense, but is not required, for the research project to be relevant to the student's
       intended senior thesis topic for next year.

       Applications, including a brief description (one page, maximum) of the proposed research project,
       must be submitted to Professor XXXXXXX  by April 1, 2007.

 

      + Lucyle Hook Travel Grants

       Purpose: to provide funding for travel related to research for the Barnard senior thesis (endowed by
       a late, emerita Barnard faculty member).

       Award: varies, but normally ranges from $100-$500. Candidates apply to the faculty Committee on
       Honors, which typically awards four or five grants each year.

       Deadline: Please check back for 2007 deadline

       Contact: Interested students should speak with Dean Blank by mid-October of the senior year and
       obtain the Committee guidelines for application from her at that time. Decisions will be announced
       by mid-December.
