Levels of Support
Funding is available for a variety of project costs, including research materials and assistance, as well as travel. Individual awards will not exceed $5,000, and proposals will be considered for any amount below this figure. Applicants are required to notify the Kellogg Institute of any funding received from another source; in some cases the Program may adjust the amount of its award. Undergraduates are eligible for only one ETW Fellowship.
Students currently studying abroad: It is YOUR responsibility to ensure that the requested number of copies are delivered to the selection committee and KI administrative staff. In the past, students abroad have achieved this by emailing the documents to trusted friends to deliver on time or by mailing the paper copies to our office.
