Seven undergraduates awarded Kelly-Douglas Traveling Fellowships
The Kelly-Douglas fund supports projects that enrich our understanding
of one or more of the fields comprising the Humanities, Arts, and Social
Sciences at MIT. Travel outside MIT to pursue an independent project
in an HASS field, or to collaborate in a humanitarian project, can have
a powerful and lasting effect on students. To this end, a portion of the
Fund is reserved for Traveling Fellowships for MIT undergraduates to
pursue an endeavor of their own devising.
