Silliman College Richter Summer Fellowship
Yale University
A Richter Summer Fellowship is awarded for independent study and research, not for mere travel, work or enrollment in a school. An internship is a valid use only if the primary component is study or research, being part of a research team is a valid use. The maximum Richter awards is $1,500. Awards are reported to the IRS as taxable income. Awardees must disclose the amount of any other funding supporting the proposed project. Richter Fellowships are ordinarily awarded to juniors, but first years, sophomores and graduate affiliates are eligible. Seniors are not eligible.
Recipients must promptly consult with the Head of College if significant changes occur in their project.
Application Information: Deadlines and Notification of Awards: Applications must be completed and submitted online on or before 1pm, Eastern Time Zone, March 30 and must include a budget. Heads of College will then submit their ranked lists to the student grant database overlap committee to ensure that individual proposals are not being double-funded elsewhere. The overlap committee will meet in mid-April, and the Head of College will notify students of their award status soon afterwards.
Restrictions to Use of Award: All interested applicants must review the Yale University International Travel Policy. Projects in specific countries or regions may not be eligible for funding based on current ISOS risk ratings, State Department Warnings, the Yale University International Travel Policy, and the country or region's own entry restrictions.
Links to Additional Information: All information on the Richter Fund, Guidelines, Proposal and Reporting forms, can be found on the Council of the Head of College Richter Fund page.
