What have you always dreamed of doing? The Watson Foundation provides $25,000 to 50 graduating seniors across the nation to pursue his or her passion for one year in a country(ies) outside the U.S. The project needs to show a long-standing commitment to the subject, but also demonstrate how it provides a new challenge in its focus as well as in the intended areas of travel (places where the student has neither studied nor lived for a significant length of time). It may not involve study at a foreign institution. The project needs to be imaginative and feasible, and be able to be carried out with great independence. A Watson Fellow is eligible for the Foundation’s loan reimbursement program during the project year. For more information on the proposal as well as
Wesleyan’s internal selection process and application due date, contact Dean Brown (x2758). Application deadline: September 18 at noon.
