Thomas J. Watson Fellowship
Programs with
Earlham Recipients:
Recognizing the interests and contributions of Thomas
J. Watson, Sr., who was the founder of International Business Machines
Corp. (widely known as IBM), the Thomas J. Watson Fellowship emphasizes
education and world affairs. This one-year grant affords college
graduates a year of truly independent study and travel outside
the United States. The program aims to "enhance their capacity
for resourcefulness, imagination, openness, and leadership and
to foster their humane and effective participation in the world
community." Since
1968 more than 2,300 awards have been granted.
Earlham is one of 48 participating colleges that
may nominate recipients. The Watson Fellowship provides a grant
of $21,500 to each recipient, who must remain abroad for the year
of the grant.
Applicants from a diverse range of backgrounds and academic disciplines
are welcome. Up to 50 Watson Fellows are selected from among the
approximately 195 candidates nominated by the participating institutions
each year.
For more information about this program, visit the Thomas
J. Watson Fellowship Web site.
