Six undergraduates awarded Kelly-Douglas Traveling Fellowships
The Kelly-Douglas fund supports projects that enrich
an understanding of one or more of MIT's Humanities,
Arts, and Social Sciences fields. Travel beyond MIT to
pursue an independent project in an HASS field, or to
collaborate on a humanitarian project, can have a
a transformative impact on a student's life and career.
