Re: Announcing the 2019-20 Schiff Fellows and Knapp Social Science Fellows
Date: November 11, 2019
The Committee on Curriculum and Academic Policy is pleased to announce the names of the seventeen students who have been awarded Jerome A. Schiff Fellowships for 2019-20 and the two students who have been awarded Knapp Social Science Fellowships. We received 54 applications, and the committee found the process of narrowing to the 19 we were able to fund to be extremely difficult because so many of the proposals were truly excellent. It was an impressive pool, and we congratulate all the participants on the quality of this work.
We would like to thank all of the students who applied and the faculty members who supported those applications and will be supervising their research projects.
