The one-year fellowship is at Kenyon College in Ohio. Fellows are expected to complete their
dissertations during the year. A $32,500 stipend is provided.

The program is for at minority scholars in the final stages of their doctoral work who need only to finish the dissertation to complete requirements for the Ph.D. The sponsor hopes the experience of living and working for a year at Kenyon College will encourage these fellows to consider a liberal arts college as a place to begin their careers as teachers and scholars.

The Fellow is expected to write the dissertation and to teach one course each semester, usually in the Fellow's general research area. Fellows are also expected to offer a College lecture or Departmental seminar on the dissertation topic at some point during the academic year in residence. The sponsor assumes that the Fellow will
participate in the intellectual life of his/her home department, as well as in the broader cultural life of the College. The sponsor's primary expectation, however, and the main focus of this fellowship, is the completion of the dissertation.
