The Junior Summer Fellowship program enables selected juniors pursue an independent, immersive project in the summer between 11th and 12th grade. Fellows extend and enhance their knowledge beyond the boundaries of the traditional classroom in destinations around the world. Successful projects will have a well-defined focus and purpose that may be academic, artistic, athletic, cultural, or creative.
A committee of current upper school faculty will award a maximum of seven $4000 fellowships to current 11th grade students. An outstanding fellowship proposal will describe a unique and immersive experience that will broaden and deepen the student’s understanding of themself and the world. While this usually involves travel, that is not a requirement.
