The Khachig Tölölyan Fund
for the Study of Diasporas and Transnationalism
The College of Letters invites juniors enrolled full time at Wesleyan or a Wesleyan program overseas who plan to write an Honors thesis or its equivalent (a performance, an exhibit) in any Department of the Humanities and the Arts (Division I), the Social Sciences (Division II), or in interdisciplinary Programs that have a Humanities department as a participant to apply for this prize.
The Khachig Tölölyan Fund supports a monetary prize for second-semester juniors to be used to buy the successful applicant some free time in the summer before senior year to start research on Honors theses on particular topics more fully described here: https://www.wesleyan.edu/col/for_majors/grants_prizes.html
Applications are due by 5:00 pm on Friday, April 9, 2021 and consists of:
- A proposal for or description of a senior thesis, 1,000-1,500 words in length.
- An informal academic transcript.
- Two letters of recommendation from Wesleyan faculty, one of whom must be the probable supervisor of the Honors thesis. If the supervisor has not yet been determined, two letters from instructors familiar with the student’s work in fields relevant to the project will suffice
A form for uploading your documents will be available on the COL web page (listed above) soon.
