Kathryn Davis Fellowships for Peace: Investing in the Study of Critical Lanugages
ALL DAVIS FELLOWSHIP APPLICATIONS MUST BE POSTMARKED BY
FEBRUARY 2, 2009.
The Kathryn Davis Fellowships for Peace: Investing in the Study of Critical Languages are offered to address today’s critical need for more effective language proficiency.
Fellowships cover the full cost of a summer of language study from beginner to graduate in Arabic,
Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, Portuguese, and Russian at the Middlebury College Language Schools. Each individual grant covers the full comprehensive fee (tuition, room, and board) for one summer at the Middlebury Language Schools, plus a stipend to assist in defraying program-related expenses.
One summer of intensive immersion language at Middlebury is the equivalent of a full year of language
study taken during the regular academic year. (Applicants who are interested in transferring academic
credit should check with their home institution regarding transferability.)
The Davis Fellowships are merit-based and intended for exceptionally qualified individuals with
demonstrated interest in one or more of the following areas: international, global, or area studies,
international politics and economics, peace and security studies, and/or conflict resolution. Individuals
in other fields, including working professionals, are also encouraged to apply if their field of expertise
requires them to study one of the critical languages listed above.
Additional Davis Fellowship opportunities are available through Middlebury’s affiliate, the
Monterey Institute of International Studies. For more information please visit

Davis Fellowship funds are limited and will be awarded on a competitive basis. Financial aid forms are not required for the Davis awards. However, students are encouraged to apply for regular Middlebury College financial aid, awarded on a demonstrated-need basis, through the normal channels.
