The Center for Religion and American Life is accepting applications for graduate student fellowships for the summer of 2002 and the 2002-2003 academic year.
The center supports interdisciplinary research about religion in American history and experience. It encourages and coordinates the study of religion in American life and history and aims to advance understanding of religion's role with the United States and in United States foreign relations.
The institute will award two $15,000 dissertation fellowships and five $5,000 summer fellowships. Fellows will have the opportunity to interact with the center's non-residential advanced dissertation and postdoctoral fellows, faculty fellows and center staff in regular conferences and seminars throughout the academic year.
For information about the application process, call (203) 432-4040, send e-mail to iasry@yale.edu or visit the website at www.yale.edu/iasry.
The Center for Language Study is accepting applications for Directed Independent Language Study (DILS) for classes to begin in September.
DILS responds to requests by individuals or small groups to learn a language for a valid academic reason, providing alternative ways for students to learn less commonly taught languages or other special purpose languages.
For more information and for online application forms, visit the website at www.cls.yale.edu/dils; contact the director at dils@yale.edu; or call (203) 432-2502.
The Office of the Secretary is now accepting submissions for two university-wide prizes: the Porter Prize and the Field Prize. Competition for these prizes is open to all students enrolled at the University for a degree, who submit a written work of scholarship that was done while they were students at Yale.
The John Addison Porter Prize is awarded for a work of scholarship in any field in which it is possible, through original effort, to gather and relate facts and/or principles and to make the product of general human interest. The Kingsley Trust Association (The Scroll and Key Society) established the award in 1872 in honor of the late professor, who received a bachelor's degree from Yale in 1842.
The Theron Rockwell Field Prize established in 1957 by Emilia R. Field in memory of her husband, an 1889S graduate of Yale, is awarded for a work of scholarship in poetry, literature, or religion.
Application forms for both prizes, which must accompany submissions, are available at the Graduate School's McDougal Center website at www.yale.edu/graduateschool/mcdougal/index.html.
Entries may be considered for both prizes and must be submitted before 5 p.m. on Thursday, April 4, to Barbara Mordecai, Office of the Secretary, 105 Wall St., Rm. 3, lower level. Questions may be directed to her at barbara.mordecai@yale.edu or by calling (203) 432-2311.
