Kennedy/Knox/Sheldon Traveling Fellowships Application Information
As mentioned earlier this summer, Harvard University's Committee on General Scholarships oversees Travelling Fellowship opportunities for which GSD students may be eligible to apply. Please review their website for a complete list of fellowships and applications at www.scholarship.harvard.edu/fellowships.html.
The more popular fellowship options are the Sinclair Kennedy Traveling Fellowship, the Frank Knox Memorial Traveling Fellowship, the Frederick Sheldon Traveling Fellowship and the Australian Graduate Research Scholarship. These four opportunities, grouped together because they share a common application, have different requirements and focus. Please review the timeline information below specific to GSD applicants.
