Campion Institute Summer Fellowships!
Each year, the Campion Institute (through the Office for Prestigious Fellowships) offers special competitive awards to students who will be competing for external scholarships and fellowships (such as the Rhodes, Marshall, Gates Cambridge, Fulbright, Truman, Goldwater, etc.).
These special awards, presented at the end of the spring semester, are available to a select group of students as a way to enrich their intellectual endeavors, build more solid research histories, and help them gain experiences that will ultimately strengthen their applications for the major external competitions.
Our summer scholarships, open both to undergraduate and graduate students, are tailored for each group and there are different levels of awards available (determined by cum GPA requirements and type of external fellowship application). Finally, the specific terms of each award are determined on an as-needed and case-by-case basis (stipend, summer housing, or a combination of both). All summer projects are subject to the approval of the Campion's Summer Fellowship Selection Committee.
The forms for download are as follows:
If you are an undergraduate student with a cumulative GPA of 3.8 or above and you are planning to apply for a major external award, you may be eligible for our Campion Summer Scholarship. (Graduating seniors are eligible for summer housing only -- if they are applying for the British fellowship programs -- and are generally ineligible for stipends.)
If you are a graduate student with a cumulative GPA of 3.8 or above and are planning to apply for a major external award, you may be eligible for a Matteo Ricci Graduate Summer Fellowship (normally a small stipend).
All summer fellowship applications require a Letter of Support from a faculty mentor who will be supervisiong your work.
If you meet our GPA requirements and plan to compete in one or a number of the prestigious outside competitions, please download a summer application and return it to our office, along with any other required documentation by April 25. Rose Hill students should return their application packets to Thebaud Hall, Rooms 106-108 (drop boxes will be located outside our offices). Lincoln Center students should return their application materials to LL224D.
Good luck to all and Happy Summer!
