Thomas J. Watson Fellowship
Each year the fellowship provides funding to 50 graduating seniors for a yearlong project outside the U.S. The projects reflect a candidate's genuine interest in, and longstanding commitment to, a specific concern, whether or not this interest is evident in a formal course of study. The project must be one that can be pursued with great independence and adaptability, and it cannot involve formal study at a foreign institution. It must involve travel to areas where the student has not previously lived or studied for a significant length of time. The stipend for the fellowship year is $36,000.
