Penn undergraduate students have the opportunity to participate in the Penn Humanities Forum through a fellowship program and, beginning in 2006, a special essay contest. Both programs are open to any full-time undergraduate student enrolled in any school who is interested in conducting research on some aspect of the Forum's annual theme.
Fellowships
Each year, approximately 20 fellowships are offered to promote undergraduate research in the humanities and to cultivate the importance of humanistic thought across all disciplines. One $1500 Coordinating Research Fellowship and nineteen $600 awards are available. Applicants are drawn from students across Penn. The Forum collaborates with the university's College House Program, where residents compete for special humanities fellowships offered in addition to the Forum's awards.
