Undergraduate Research Fellowships

The Penn Humanities Forum awards a number of Undergraduate Humanities Forum Research Fellowships each year to promote undergraduate research in the humanities and cultivate the importance of humanistic thought across all disciplines.

Interested candidates should be conducting work related to the Forum's theme for the year in which the award is granted. Calls for applications are solicited in February of the year preceding the fellowship.

One $1500 PHF Coordinating Research Fellowship and approximately twelve PHF Research Fellowships at $600 each are available each year. Applicants are drawn from students across Penn, as well as from the university's twelve undergraduate College Houses, including Perspectives in Humanities (PiH) of Kings Court English College House. PiH has collaborated with the Penn Humanities Forum since PHF's inception in 1999.

PHF Undergraduate Research Fellows are expected to participate as a group in regular lunch or dinner meetings throughout the year, during which, often with guest faculty, they discuss their ongoing research. Fellows also must give a formal presentation of their research in the spring semester of their fellowship year.
