Fellows and Stipends
The Filene Center and Wheaton College offer a rich array of funding opportunities to Wheaton College students during the summer to support learning experiences. For information on deadlines and application procedures, please e-mail the appropriate contact.
Wheaton Fellows
The Wheaton Fellow Program grants $3000 stipends to Wheaton students to pursue projects of their own creation off campus over the summer. Qualifying projects may include: unpaid internships, community service, research in which the student is the primary designer of a project which has an informal faculty sponsor, or other self-initiated research leading to or as part of an independent study course. Contact the Filene Center for Work & Learning for more information.
Davis International Fellows
Summer grants to Wheaton students for international internships, service experiences, or overseas structured independent research. Applicants will develop sites for $5000 summer awards.
There will be a common application, and all applicants must have at least a 3.0 GPA. Prior overseas or intercultural experience, including JYA is clearly a plus, but not required. Current Sophomores and Juniors are eligible for this program. Contact the program advisor,
Ed Canton for further discussions.
