Five College Fellowship Program 2012-13

Five College Fellowships offer year-long residencies for doctoral students
completing dissertations. The program supports scholars from
under-represented groups and/or scholars with unique interests and histories
whose engagement in the Academy will enrich scholarship and teaching. This
year we expect to award four fellowships for 2012-13.

Each Fellow will be hosted within an appropriate department or program
at *Amherst College, Hampshire College, Mount Holyoke College or Smith College. *

This is a residential fellowship. Fellows are provided research and teaching
mentors and connected through the consortial office to resources and
scholars across the five campuses, which include UMass Amherst. The office
also supports meetings of the Fellows throughout the year.

The fellowship includes a $30,000 stipend, a research grant, health
benefits, office space, housing or housing assistance, and library
privileges at all five campuses belonging to the consortium.

While the award places primary emphasis on completion of the dissertation,
most fellows teach at their hosting institution, but never more than a
single one-semester course.
