Paul Mellon Fellowship
The Paul Mellon Fellowship is offered to an unmarried member of the Senior Class in Yale College for study at Clare College, Cambridge, for the coming academic year. The fellowships are normally renewed for a second year and fellowship recipients may request a third year.
Qualifications
An Applicant:
1. Must be a citizen of the United States
2. Must demonstrate a genuine interest in Britain or in subjects that can best be approached by study in England.
3. Must agree that in the summer following his/her first year at Clare College he/she will devote some time to travel in the British Isles or on the Continent, and will not ordinarily expect to return to the United States during that time.
4. Must have a strong academic record at Yale.
5. Must have demonstrated qualities of leadership at Yale.
The Mellon Fellowship will pay directly to Clare College all tuition and college fees, including board and room expenses. Additionally, the Mellon Fellow will receive round-trip transportation from his/her home to Cambridge and a stipend of not less than $10,400 per year, payable in quarterly installments.
Applying
An application, setting out briefly the candidate's proposed career and field of study at Clare, should be left at the Master's Office of Berkeley College by February 11, together with an unofficial full transcript of his/her Yale record. The applicant should, in addition, request at least two people best able to judge his/her work to mail directly to the Master of Berkeley College a letter of recommendation giving specific evidence of the candidate's past achievement and future promise. The original plus three copies of all materials should be sent to the Berkeley College Master's Office, P.O. Box 209128 (or campus mail -- 205 Elm Street), New Haven, CT 06520-9128.
The best-qualified candidates will be called in March for an interview with the Committee, and they will be notified of the results of the competition shortly afterward.
