Davis Fellows for Peace

http://www.davisfellowsforpeace.org/

Application period: November 1, 2021 to December 15, 2021

*It is not recommended that you wait until December to submit both applications. In order to be considered for the fellowship, your Language School application must be on file and complete. If a piece of your Language School application is delayed for some reason (a transcript, for example), your fellowship application may not be reviewed. If you want to give yourself time to work on the fellowship essay, we recommend that you apply for admission in the fall and then submit your fellowship application later.

Eligibility requirements:

  • Demonstrated interest in international, global or area studies; international politics and economics; peace and security studies; and/or conflict resolution.  Individuals in other fields, including working professionals, are encouraged to apply if their field of expertise requires them to study one of the languages.
  • Applicants are strongly encouraged to have at least one year of college before applying.

Award summary and conditions: 100 Fellowship for Peace are offered to cover the full cost of summer language study from beginner to graduate levels. At the Middlebury campuses students can study Chinese, Korean, Hebrew, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Arabic, Italian or Spanish. Fellowship funds are limited and will be awarded on a competitive basis. Financial aid forms are not required for the awards. However, students are encouraged to apply for regular Middlebury College financial aid, awarded on a demonstrated-need basis, through the office of financial aid.

Application process: online. Two applications are required:
