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.
