The Study Abroad Office coordinates the Watson Fellowship in conjunction with the Office of the Dean. The Watson Fellowship gives college graduates of unusual promise the freedom to engage in a year of independent study and travel abroad following their graduation. The WatsonFoundation provides a $25,000 grant to each Fellow. In addition, the Fellowship Loan Program will supplement the grant with an amount equal to 12-months’ payment of outstanding federally guaranteed student loans. The grant will cover the Fellow’s living and travel expenses, while the Loan Program eases the Fellow’s financial burden during their Fellowship year.
