The Jenrette Fellows Program

The Jenrette Fellows Program is structured to provide three core benefits: enhanced financial support through partial scholarship funding; expanded access to hands-on learning opportunities that complement academic coursework; and increased connectivity among a national cohort of fellows enrolled at leading graduate institutions. The fellowship is awarded prior to the start of the fall semester of a student’s first year of graduate study at an eligible institution. Program elements include cohort-building and educational programming, as well as participation in a Foundation-supported field school during the spring semester. Fellows are required to complete a summer internship or externship between academic years if the student’s graduate program does not already mandate one; and an elective regional architectural history tour following completion of the second year. In addition, fellows will receive support to attend one professional conference per year.
