The Dean of the College Office is soliciting applications from juniors who are interested in summer or winter break fellowships. Students need two letters of recommendation and will be asking faculty to write these letters. The deadline for faculty recommendations is Friday, February 8, 2008 (e-mail to kmoldenh@carleton.edu). Below are brief descriptions of the fellowships; detailed information can be found on our Web site.
Class of 1963 Fellowships
The Class of 1963 Fellowship was established by gifts to the College from the Class of 1963 to provide an opportunity for qualified students to pursue intellectual or creative interests. This fellowship is also available during the school year for studies that would qualify as Independent Studies.

The Independent Research Fellowship is awarded to enable qualified students to carry out independent research activities in any field taught at the College or to undertake projects in the creative and performing arts.
Paul and Lynn Kelley Fellowship
The Paul and Lynn Kelley Endowed Fellowship Fund was created to honor Paul and Lynn who have done a great deal to support and promote cultural understanding, including medical travels to Central America, years-long service to indigenous and tribal peoples, AIDS work, and much more. The fund is intended to support students with financial need who are doing research fellowships abroad. These fellowships may be in conjunction with senior comps, in collaboration with faculty, or a project of student interest.
